[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 823376, member: 48483"] You are getting there! Yes, use the soft-box and even place the lens directly on it pointing down. Should give uniform and consistent light that way so you could automate the post processing a bit. Color is looking a bit flat, but understand it could be accurate due to the nature of military subjects. The little bit of red looks like you have room to increase saturation. I got half-way into a project like this 20 years ago with one of those small USB cube film scanners. Similar principle, tiny digicam inside box aimed at a LED soft box. Slid the film through in a holder and captured jpegs. Unfortunately the light was so cheap it left rings of bright-dark across the photos that were very difficult to try to correct. It is why I keep looking for a scan adapter today. [/QUOTE]
