  • 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 !

  • The best stand is a cheap enlarger. Then mount the camera on the head and lightbox on the base. You can pick up enlargers almost free.
