Queston is if it is a projection or only some inforcement for the usual scanner lamp. I don=B4t know, was not thinking that deep about it. I succeeded in scanning medium format negatives on an usual scanner (umax astra 1200 S). This is the test arrangement: | strong halogen light v diffusor from glas and matt paper | negatives, films v glass of the scanner Now I could scan something like contact sheets and medium format negatives in coarse quality. May be this helps you. -- Best regards, Holger Drefs
