Can I use a regular scanner and put a mirror above the negative then scan it?

@azmieTheWeirdBoy Sounds like it might work. I don't know if the light from the scanner would be reflected and cause a glare though.

ROBERT, I must ask! How do you get to I guess "demo" the fonts when looking for one in the drop-down bar of text??? I've looked and I can't find out how!

[djbeto267]

@AwesomeSauceInAJar Hey, it must be something in your preferences or see if you have OpenGL turned on. Do you have CS5?

[jaradh67]

OK so a scanner or what looks like a 5Dmkii and a macro lens cost over $2000. You did not say you would need a macro lens, I would say its a must for taking a photo of a neg.

[djbeto267]

@jaradh67 I didn't use a macro lens. Also, any camera should work for this.

First!
