Instead of nigger rigging some DSLR scanning rig out of cardboard and a flash, why not just use the enlarger I already have? I think I could remove the enlarging lens and make a lensboard with a filter ring on it to screw the front of my macro lens into it backwards. Then I can mount the camera onto it and use the bellows to focus the negative onto the camera sensor to scan it.
Has anyone tried something like this? Is there something obvious that I'm missing? This seems like something I could easily try this weekend. The closest I've found is some guy who used an enlarger to project his negatives directly onto the bare camera sensor, which seems like a great way to make it way more tedious and get a sensor full of dust.
