    Re: DSLR Scanner: Camera Supports and Positioning

    Yesterday I was taking apart a Kodak HR-500 scanner and it instantly reminded me of this thread.
    The scanner is built like a large format camera looking a moving stage.
    Get the DSLR in place of the CCD, get control over the stepper motors already there, put a light panel behind the opening for the negative carriers, and you are set.
    If I'm not able to get this one running, maybe I'll try that.

    Construction of new system optimized for 3x enlargements from 8x10 is underway. It'll be a floor-standing system with a manual sliding film stage.

    Re: DSLR Scanner: Camera Supports and Positioning

    Hello guys, I have moved far away and left everything behind. I'm trying to build a new system to photograph my negatives, was thinking if using a computer metal case as the support for negative, lighting and camera. Have you guys ever come across something using a metal box like that?

    Sure. Here: http://www.filmtoaster.photography/ If you want to buy a used one, let me know. I found it "okay" but your mileage may differ.

    I should have paid more attention to what Peter created. But it appears that it will do that "same" thing. Bought this:

    Expect to do this soon.....using Kaiser slimlite panel + slide holder. The levels are little off (in the sketch), but things will get evened out.

    One can attach pretty much any camera w/macro lens.

    Les, I'll be curious as to how well that will work. I used a 4000 series Velmex Unislide.
