[Leica] Scanning old family negs..

[Richard Clompus]

Richard, thanks for sharing.  Nice to see family shots that would otherwise remain in a drawer somewhere.  To digitize some of my older family slides, I ended up using the Novoflex negative/transparency holder and focusing stage with a macro lens.  Its quick, produces 25MB files with a Leica M or Canon 5dMk3 and doesn’t require a lot of Photoshop manipulation to get very good results. I had a Nikon slide scanner that I could never get consistent results and then software became a nightmare when support was discontinued.   

Be well,
Richard
