Work in progress, 35mm DSLR scanning/copying.

[MrDrizz]

Taking inspiration from the classic Slide copier I designed a 35mm DSLR scanner thingy. It is still a work in progress though, currently using an old film holder from a cheap scanner.

It's designed for my particular macro lens but no reason it couldn't be adapted for other lenses.

Next step is to design a holder for the film and I will use the old scanner holder as a base.

So far proof of concept confirmed.

That looks interesting, Mark. I had an AICO slide copier for a while, and the slide end of the device was very definitely designed for slides. I did try pushing a film strip through, but it was all over the place. It looks like you have something a bit more sophisticated there.

What is your light source?

I have tried a small LED and a speedlight.
I also need to add some defusion.

One of these is good for strips of negatives...

Thank you @AndrewFlannigan for that suggestion. That would work well but I have designed my own but its still remains to be seen if it scratches a negative.

Version 2

This one uses a step up ring rather than fitting over the lens like the previous version. I also need to extend the tube section so I can get a bit more of the film sprockets.

I may also look at designing so it more universal and publish to printables.

I have already built a similar system.
