I think they said it was up to $1.6 bn now? That's quite a lot, isn't it.

It would be enough for me.

Of course, you could take it one step further

Kodak Slide Projector - DSLR Automated Digitizer - YouTube

Except the guy used the wrong brand of camera.

Even the livE hociR would be a better choice, but I'm thinking a K5IIs is the best choice.

But then I may be a tad biased.

OK smartypants.

How do you copy negatives?

:cheesy:

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

Actually, why not...

Actually negatives are a little easier than slides as placing them in the photo scanner is a "little" less onerous. Maybe a light table and a dslr....hmmmm

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...

I do have an Arduino and a breadboard. Just add two relays and some programming and I could be in business!

Lap Yuk?

Doesn't sound very appetizing, does it?

Hey Dave.

I have both slides and negatives.

And a Pentax K5IIs.

I copied some of my negatives this morning.

Here is a shot of an Air France Boeing 747 circa 1981 or so, with death rays shooting out of it.

Run for your life.
