Thanks Alistair. I think i could get PS through my CC subscription, but it may be better for me to make a preset for LR when I’ve figured it out - I want to make the process as easily one-clickable as I can all within LR. I’ve seen some stuff on youtube which shows how to do it, I just need to g

That's a very interesting approach, Bob! I'll be interested to see what kind of results you get from it. I have a similar device for my Minox 8x11 and 35GT-E cameras. I hadn't thought of adapting the device to one of my digital cameras for use scanning sheets of negatives. I do have the Leic

The BOOWU-M arrived about 10 minutes ago, so after a brief moment of confusion until I realised I had to remove the lens head from the 50mm, I took a first snap. This is with the A4 attachment, shot in window light at f8, aperture priority. The full frame with no post production. The book is lar

Good luck with that. I have a film scanner, but want to scan whole sheets. As well as a scanner I have a cunning plan. I have just bought on ebay a BOOWU-M (later BOWUM), which is a very old skool Leitz copy stand on legs, set up for use with a 50mm lens, with which you can copy documents of

My brother bought a used slide scanner, and when he finishes scanning his slides he will ship it to me. I didn't ask what make or model it is, but he said it has carriers for a few sizes of film including 35mm. I probably won't have it here for another month or two, but when I do I will have a

Re: Scanning old negs

I'd play with the copy camera type of scanning ideas using whatever you have currently to start. A "copy stand" can be your existing tripod, if you have a normal lens and a couple of close up lenses, that can get you into the right magnification range. It's sometimes amazing the quality you can

Re: Scanning old negs

I haven't tried that particular Epson scanner, Paul. But at that price, and the inevitable size that such a scanner has to be, it's both too big to have for the amount of use I have for it, and I don't believe it would produce sufficiently more resolution and consistency than the Nikon Coolscan

The Epson 850 Pro offers extremely high resolution, “glass” film holders and fine focus adjustment by means of the film holders. I’ve tried numerous dedicated film scanners, including most of Nikon’s. The only one Ive used that outperformed the 850 Pro was a Hasselblad Imacon scanner. But at abo

Hi Bob! I do/have done quite a lot of negative, transparency, and small print capture over the past thirty years using all sorts of scanners, copy camera setups, and fixtures. I still shoot film in several formats—Minox to 6x9 plus instant film prints. Here's a brief synopsis of my thoughts: -
