It’s a clever idea for people who still shoot film and process their own. > >> ...put a sleeved film strip on the lightbox, a glass sheet on top > > A glass sheet is two more surfaces for dust to settle on.

Using a glass sheet is what I used to do in the darkroom when I was making contacts, to flatten them on the paper. In fact, now that I think of it, I’m sure I used some sort of hinged frame with glass in at one time. > Now, what lens would one use for scanning a single 35 mm neg?
