Digitizing Negatives

Our member Ron Sherman shared this in response to our conversations about scanning in the last Zoom meeting.

During our discussion about camera scans and Nikon type scanners, I volunteered to test both, since I have used both techniques. The results are attached, along with my camera, bellows, and lens setup and the lights and camera setup.  I determined that the camera scans with my equipment are ok when there is a large number of negatives to be used for reference or archiving. A newer camera and better macro lens would improve the camera scan quality. My Nikon Scanner gave me the results I need for high quality reproductions. I hope this demo gives the APAG members a starting point in their quest for a scanning solution.
