I put the negs on a lightbox with some card taped to it to keep them flat, and shoot them almost filling the frame with a dslr + old macro lens on a tripod.
Then I invert the curves in lightroom, sharpen them a bit, generally boost the contrast, and fine tune the color balance (manually or with the eye dropper on something grey). I like to take a break between choosing what to keep and finishing them up so I sometimes export them as tiffs after inverting the curves so that all the sliders and everything aren't backwards...
On these I boosted the saturation a bit too but I didn't do much else. I edit the shit out of some things tho.
