Converting negative into Digital format...

PhotoTime · 15th February 2006

Hi,

I remember reading somewhere a way to build your own slide adapter, so that you can digitised your slide without using slide scanner. Just wondering can we do some slide adapter for MF negative, so that we are able to digitised the negative without using slide scanner?

Year back I ever saw something that look like a lens that attached directly to the body and mount the slide on the front. Its made of plastic and its outcome is very good.

Thanks, catchlights. I will try to make 1 myself (copying the concept, and not infringing the copyrights), hopefully, it is successful.

DeSwitch, I know what are you referring to, but that adapter just seems to quiet down, as most people will go for digital media or scanning. If I am not wrong, that adapter is mainly used for 35mm film, not MF. I am just wondering what is the different in quality when using slide copier (I suddenly remember the name of the thing) and delicated slide scanner?
