I created customized camera calibration profiles for my Leica SL that do the correct inversion for both color and B&W negatives. they're now almost as easy to capture with the copy setup as slides. "Almost" because the inversion means the controls in the Lightroom develop module work reversed from their normal sense, which is surprisingly hard to manage. Best thing I've found to do is to get the image close and export into 16-bit TIFF (with automatic re-import into catalog), then do the finish editing on that master.
Just scanned this Rolleiflex negative a couple of days ago using the SL on a Leica BEOON copy stand (set to 1:3 capture) and a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2839/33067360834_0d56eccbfc_b.jpg G > On Apr 7, 2017, at 9:58 PM, Alan C <[email protected]> wrote: > > A slide duplicator or bellows setup works well (easily & quickly) for 35mm > slides but is very problematic for negatives.
