You need a good strong back light and a decent mask. Then photoshop is ideal for inverting and applying curves.

Gotta try this at some point (especially if I'll go medium format as I only have a dedicated 35mm scanner).. would also need a proper macro lens for this though (and, actually, a digital camera on the other end with some more pixels wouldn't hurt either).
I once read Ming Thein is doing it with flash.
Never figured out how exactly, and he's super secretive about it (he did try to develop a stand for "scanning" with a DSLR but this didn't work out apparently so he keeps it to himself for now).Also curious to hear what people report on the built-in negative "scanning" feature of the D850 !

Im pretty keen to try developing some film too, what would you say would be a good place to start/good kit list for basic develop and scan? It has always looked a bit pricey (particularly on the scan side of things) and whenever Ive tried to photograph negatives to get scans Ive always had pretty poor results.
