@nickjbedford's DIY high resolution B&W film scanning setup. iPad backlight, negative strip holder, Nikon D810 (36mp) and Nikkor 60mm macro, mounted on sturdy Manfrotto tripod.

Settings on the display. 2 second timer, focus checked every frame. Cropped and processed in Lightroom.

Makes for really detailed prints! Takes about 20 minutes to cut, scan and archive a roll then onto post processing.

4x6" print on 5x7" Ilford Gold Mono Silk paper. Shot, developed, scanned and printed by @nickjbedford on Kodak Tri-X 400 with Leica M7 and 35mm Voigtländer.

This paper looks superb. Rich blacks and whites with semi-gloss look.

Shoot to print!
