Thanks Godfrey. One thing I’m doing differently from my first attempts is to use the tubes and slide holder instead of the Leitz Beoon which I originally used. The reason for this is to prevent unwanted light altering the colour balance - I’m too lazy to do it in the dark! The Beoon of course handles several formats.
My current method doesn’t handle unmounted slides and negatives. I’m not aware of a film strip holder that will fit the Pentax slide holders I have, they’re all too thick, so I may need to experiment with butchering a plastic slide mount, or I may have to close the curtains and switch the lights off. > On 1 Dec 2022, at 01:11, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[email protected]> wrote: > > Great set of photos, Bob! > > Yes, I have discontinued using film and flatbed scanners for the most part, > do almost all my negative and transparency scanning using a copy camera setup > now … similar to yours in some ways, but a different camera and lens mix. * > > It's an easy setup to master if you have a few basic pieces so I agree: > anyone wanting to do film to digital capture nowadays and who already has an > interchangeable lens camera should try the copy camera approach first, before > spending money on any kind of scanner. > > G > > * My setup varies depending upon what format and film type I'm capturing.
