[QUOTE="aroy, post: 420369, member: 16090"] Automation is expensive, though if I remember correctly, Capture Integration do offer solutions to libraries and museums for automating digital archiving. But the costs run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are a large number of home built rigs described on the net with detailed user feed back. From what I have been able to glean A.) Prints. . Best to set up a table top rig with flat lighting at 45 degrees from left and right. . Use the tripod to hold the camera absolutely vertical. . Use a lens with flat field. The 60mm Macro is one of the best. The "D" version is sharper and has less CA than the "G" version. . If you want you can use tethering software, like DigiCam Control. It works perfectly with my D3300. You can check the focus, flatness and lighting on a large screen. B) B & W negatives. . Best to use the 60mm Macro with the Nikon Slide adapter. If you use a DX body, then an extra tube is required, as the 60mm+Adapter are 1:1, while with DX you need 1:1.5 (approximately). . After taking the image you just invert it in any software.
