Last night we constructed a rudimentary light table using our softbox, a picture frame and a piece of ANR glass. Using our tripod as a copy stand, we thought we would give it a try for DSLR film scanning. We used a 7mm extension tube with a pentax 50mm f/2 lens, which seemed to give the best results and framing for 35mm. The cobbled-together setup in question

What do the results look like? Amazingly sharp and fantastic dynamic range! The example image was over-exposed by at least a stop or two, and the DSLR was more than capable of extracting incredible detail down to the grain from the cooked negative. Black and white film image of four metal bicycles leaned up against eachother in a row.

How does it compare to the V600? We will let the results speak for themselves:
