This is going to be the final part of my intro post on camera scanning. Once I have covered all the basics and concepts of camera scanning I will have closer look on the workflow itself.
In the last part I talked about the six main elements of camera scanning and I have covered camera choice, lens options and light source. Now it is time for the oremaining three items which are copy stand, the film holder solution and finally the required software for negative conversion.

I every wanted to own one of those lenses to add a certain mysterious effect to my photographs. Then after Lensbaby announced a massive sale on this baby, I could not resist any longer.
