Not sure where the most appropriate place is for me to ask this. I've recently bought an old Graflex 4x5 and for cost reasons want to develop at home and scan the negatives. All I have is a Canon Pixma MP620 printer with flatbed scanner. I'm not about to go out and purchase an expensive film scanner. I realize this printer isn't ideal for making prints. I live in NYC and will send files to Adorama for quality prints. But for proofing and messing around I would like to save money simply scanning the prints vs making proofs -- maybe as I learn how to develop I'll try out making simple proofs but for now I need to learn before I can run.
Is it possible to scan negatives in this way? Does the light source need to come from the other side of the scanner? I've been trying to find the appropriate way to scan negatives on flatbeds but haven't found what I'm looking for.
What is the cheapest solution for getting negatives on the computer
