So I’m watching this, looking to make my own home scan set up, totally engrossed, then suddenly on screen I see….. the playground of my childhood, Las Vegas Amusements in Hemsby! Suddenly it’s 45 years ago, the memories, the smells, lights, sounds flood back, it’s like I’ve never been away! I spent many, many happy times in Hemsby, and Las Vegas was the place my parents would always be, playing Bingo. I’d already liked and saved your video due to the helpful info, but wow, seeing this image was wonderful! Thank you for sharing!

Wow, yeah, I think this gives me a new perspective, that I don't absolutely have to have a recent camera body and lens, as much as I'd prefer them, to still get really impressive, solid results, that i think still beat out film scanners, not only in price but also utility. I usually strive for as close to perfection as I'm able, but this looks like it's far better than I'd have imagined, despite the body being 6 years old already.

If the head is always going to be pointed down like that, get some 2-part epoxy putty and pack it into the hinge and behind the hinge to act as a gusset. That will make it a lot more rigid and cost ~$10 and a little bit of time. Hitting the surfaces with sandpaper first to make sure the putty has something to grab onto is also a good idea, so maybe ~$12?

The limiting element of these types of digital copying to get digital film copies is the lens. The best lens regardless of money spent is going to reach its limits around a 24 meg digital camera. You can use far more sophisticated cameras, but you won't get more image which isn't there to be gotten. (They will generate a larger file size, but you won't get more image detail, just noise.) Here, the old Canon 50mm lens is not near the cutting edge of optics, but good enough to match the rest of the package. That's going on here is pushing sale of a bunch of plastic crap to hold the film and backlight it. You can loose most of that stuff and get there for a lot less cash.

I started with DSLR scanning before I picked up analog photography ( again after 30 years ) myself when I was digitizing my father's archive of 5000 negatives. Initially I used a smartphone as lightsource and a 50mm lens with extension tubes on my Nikon D3300. Since then I improved my light source and I now use an EL-Nikkor enlarger lens with a helicoid and some tubing. Never have I considered buying a flatbedscanner, or even worse, have a lab scan my images ( being the cheapskate that I am..)

Great video! I’ve been using a negative supply medium format holder for awhile and super happy with it. I’ve been digitizing negatives since 2005. I picked up a suitcase light table and cut out some black matt board masks of all the negative sizes and used an old hollowed out enlarger. It did the job but I was digitizing on a nikon d70 at the time. It really is convenient these days with tethering, etc., but now that digitizing on a medium format fuji or hasselblad, the 16 bit space is an extra level of data that you never got with a flatbed.
