Default DSLR Slide and Negative Copying by Roel Reijne

DSLR Slide and Negative Copying by Roel Reijne

From the moment I bought my slide scanner, a Minolta Scan Dual II, in 2000, I thought, “There must be a quicker way to digitalize slides and negatives.”

The problem with my scanner was that it took about 5 minutes to scan a slide or negative at its highest resolution. It also scanned some dust, no matter how well I cleaned the slide, so more time was spent cleaning a slide in Photoshop after scanning it. At the time I didn't have any software for the scanner to reduce dust.

My Einstein Moment

I think everybody has, at least a few times in his or her life, an “Einstein moment.” I think this was one of mine and I’d like to share it with you. I thought, “Why not place a slide on my light box and make a photo of it with my digital camera?”

The lightbox I use is a MEDALight LP-2000 with cold cathode lamp, which has a perfect, bright white light (5000K daylight).

Good idea, BUT
- you must have special macro lens
- if compare with scanner you lost many powerful tools as colour correction, sharpening etc
- and - most important - do you really sure that dynamic range of DSLR is the same as for good slide-scanner?

Thanks!..
The fact I am here is rather result of absolutely idiotic screening at A-Net - the shot of An-22 you was impressed, was rejected twice with reason "too much grain"...

Whoever said it has too much grain must not be wearing his glasses as it is a fantastic shot... certainly no grain problem that I could see. It is pin sharp.

Welcome to the site and I certainly look forward to more of your shots Sergei. If you need any help or have any problems with the site always feel free to contact me personally.. and I will help.
