Calibrating Lenses for Standard Scales of Reproduction with Digital SLR cameras

Abstract: This paper is an update of previous work undertaken by one of the authors (SY) that outlined a method for establishing standard scales of reproduction with digital SLR cameras for clinical photography. Recent experience in the authors' department has raised some issues with using the published formulae for calculating subject and working distances to achieve accurate magnifications. The authors explain a more pragmatic approach to calibrating lenses used on a range of Nikon digital SLR cameras.

“…The calibration process is essential to achieve comparable magnification in line with the Westminster reproduction ratio. The Westminster reproduction ratio is used by professional medical photographers, and this standard was based on the 35 mm film camera [ 5 ]. The images, which were captured in RAW file format, were downloaded into Adobe Lightroom software version 5 (Adobe Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA) for conversion into TIFF files.…”
