Hello,
Just wanted to share with you my attempt to create a negative scanner using a digital camera. It may be of interest for those of you who shoot b&w, do development in the darkroom and want a quick preview of the pictures without getting the photo paper out to select the ones you will enlarge (or as in my case: send to the lab for enlarging and save the money on the bad pics that way)
Here is the discription on how it works:
http://users.telenet.be/vicmortelmans/fts/scanningnegatives/
Major advantage: it operates much much faster than any scanner; quality is good enoug to publish on the web
Major disadvantage: it won't give you the proper result to produce digital prints afterwards (although
Comments are more than welcome and if any of you use similar equipment, I'd like to hear about it!
Groeten,
Vic
