I¹ve been experimenting with camera-scanning some kodachromes from the
50-60s. Mostly for just quick and dirty conversion to maybe a photo book
or something, but they are coming out ok.
My setup is a Sony RX100 M2, resting directly on an Apo Rodagon N 90mm
enlarging lens, which is mounted on a beseler lens board. That board rests
on top of about 3² of lens extension tubes (designed for ³top-hat²
large-format lens boards), which are black aluminum pieces that thread
together, about 3-4² diameter. That sits on top of the lightbox, which
has the slide sitting on it, with extra light masked off with black
plastic from Kodak Endura photo paper bags.
Overall it¹s pretty squared up, no extraneous light, and works fairly
well. Setting the camera to 3.2x zoom results in a nearly 100% full frame
shot of the slide with minimal cropping needed. I¹d use a DSLR but I
don¹t own one. The Apo Rodagon N is wide-open. I tried several enlarging
lenses from 50 to 150mm and this was the closest match with least
distortion.
