I'm having to relearn this all again but I've started working through my decades worth of old slides archive. Since I've got my old light box out also I'm going to do even more experimenting. Going to see if I can use my old Contax bellows on my digital mirrorless camera to recapture the slides better than the old dedicated scanner. Some initial attempts so it's doable. Of course all of this is making me appreciate the quality and ease of today's digital camera's even more, LOL!
Back in the day i had some film scanners, then went fully digital.
Some years later and I've inherited the family film/camera archive.
I found a Cannon 100mm/f2.8 macro lens and a light box is pretty good for capturing slide and large format film.
Plus I've stored the originals in folders so I could 'scan' them again if I had to.
