How do you copy negatives?

:cheesy:

No need to be so negative, Racer. Mount them in slide frames

Actually, why not...

**savoche** · 10-20-2018, 06:16 AM

Oh, and a good morn... aft... a good day to you all!

But that doesn't sound quite right, does it. English is a quirky language.

Luckily, I have mostly slides :-)

Basically it does what I need it to, scan in the thousands of slides I have "reasonably" well and quickly. Now I can have a digital archive of all my slides and go back to a slide I like and scan it properly on my slide scanner if I so desire.

Most important was leveling everything and dealing with the light source. At first the slides had a halo superimposed on them so I got a piece of translucent plastic and inserted it in the light chamber. Worked great. Anyway, I know I had chatted about slide scanning before and thought you might be interested in my setup.

Very ingenious Charlie, thanks for sharing.

Good whatever it is wherever you are!

34th anniversary today for me and Mrs Bob.
Our romantic "dinner" was chicken fried steak for lunch yesterday at Concord Bar & Grill.
Marrying her was the best decision I've made in my life.

I don't buy lottery tickets often enough to know all of the games.
It was Mega Millions, not Megabucks that hit one billion, and there were no winners, that includes me, sorry.

So buy a ticket for the next drawing, the jackpot will be even bigger.

It was on the news over here, too. I think they said it was up to $1.6 bn now? That's quite a lot, isn't it.

Nice!

I did some tests with using an 8 stop ND filter on a 50mm on tubes. Getting a bit more distance with the 100 is probably a good idea as I struggled with getting the corners exposed well. Will see if I can get on with the project this winter...

Of course, you could take it one step further
