What is the best camera for dentistry photography?
I love going to the dentist, the smell of the chemicals and the taste of my dentists fingers. So many great memories.
When I was little I use to mark the date of my next visit to the dentist on my calender, then cross the days off untill my next visit. The best moments of my life were at the dentist.
Unfortunately due to the credit crunch I cant afford to go to the dentist every month now. Also Attila has retired and the new dentist wears gloves and smokes menthol.
So I will start my own dentistry surgery and photography studio in the spare room. I need to buy all the tools and a camera for my xrays, best film also please?
Any advice is good but will be rejected. Only your best answers please!
You just love the nitrous oxide and you’ve inhaled a bit much this time.
I never did love my dentist but I did date his oral hygienist, her name was Mona and she was one.
I don’t think the camera matters that much as does the lens(s) used.
If you wish to capture a nice smile close up, use a 60 mm 1:8/f Macro, for the whole face plus a nice smile, use a 100mm 1:6/f. If the new office that you have set up for your home-style dentistry is large enough, a 70-200mm 1:2.8/f zoom will work best for DOF (you will need one of the overhead lights the real dentist use for proper lighting using this lens).
The film that you really should use is no longer available for use in a SLR, so you are going to need to purchase several digital point and shots, tear the sensors out and mount them in small cardboard squares to be inserted into the mouth. The trick for fine results is to make sure the mouth is very dry so as not to cross-circuit their pixels.
Now this is not advice, but for the money spent on all those lens, sensors and the new computer to handle the new software you need to scan and change your positives into an x-ray negative, you could probably go out and find another smelly old dentist, make sure he has an oral hygienist named Mona.
