Does anyone here use a DSLR to digitize old negatives or slides. I recently purchased a Wolverine slide and film scanner. It is okay for preserving old film but when I load the pic in Photoshop the pics are large in size but only 72ppi.
I am on a very strict budget and cannot afford a macro lens at this time so I use a macro attachment that screws on the end of my 18-55mm zoom. I use my iPad as a light table and a tripod, the film holder from the wolverine scanner. After some trial and error I found I had to elevate the film holder about 1/4" above the iPad.
Just asking out of curiosity if others are doing this and what your thoughts. The pic here is from a negative that was shot in 1968 in Thailand. The film was developed by myself back then. The negative was scanned using my DSLR just two days ago.
