  • Thanks, I found a light table last night at home after posting and tried it roughly with my phone and had okish results. I think the light could have been brighter though.

  • Here's my phone based lash-up: MDF box, 12v LED, light box acrylic and a 3D printed structure that holds the negative strip flat, masks each frame to prevent exposure problems, aligns the camera parallel to the negative, and carries a salvaged lens which allows a low spec phone to cover the negative without silly zoom levels.

    It's not marvellous, but good enough to avoid the need to set up an enlarger or drag out a Windows XP machine to drive an ancient PlusTek 7200...

  • That's some proper MacGuyver shit! 😀

    Two questions:

    • is that a car battery?!
    • what is that lens actually for (why don't you just use the macro mode of your phone)?
