[QUOTE="aroy, post: 405536, member: 16090"] One of the best methods is to use the Nikon 60mm Macro with slide adapter. That will give you 24MP RAW (if you use the bodies with 24MP sensors). The RAW file will then be processed as a normal photograph. [url=http://www.scantips.com/es-1c.html]Nikon ES-1 Slide Copying Adapter[/url] [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/37453-REG/Nikon_3213_ES_1_Slide_Copying_Adapter.html]Nikon ES-1 Slide Copying Adapter 3213 B&H Photo Video[/url] [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?N=10066987&InitialSearch=yes&sts=pi]Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D Lens 1987 B&H Photo Video[/url] Though together they will be quite expensive, you gain a 60mm Macro, when you are not copying. The problem with flat bed scanners is both the quality and low resolution. At 1200 DPI optical resolution (that is what most flat bed scanners can achieve), a 35mm film ( 1.5" x 1") will give 3K x 2K = 6MP image, where as even a D70 will give 7MP and the D3300/D610/D750 a 24MP. Another step while scanning a film negative, is that you have to process it further . Get rid of the Orange tint . Invert colours There are lot of articles on the net with various solutions for copying slides and processing colour film negatives. [/QUOTE]
