Slides and negative films

I also have a lot of slides and negative films from about 1950. To digitalize them I bought a Plustek OpticFilm 8100, that comes with a frame for framed slides 24x36 and one for 35 mm films.
Instead of Silverfast SW that comes with the scanner, I preferred to buy Vuescan. I make all the work with Ubuntu OS (Vuescan comes for both Windows and Linux). The only corrections I apply with Vuescan are colour compensation, due to ageing.
I apply all other corrections (mainly colour temperature and curves) in post-production, with Digikam (under Ubuntu OS). All the work is done with an HP laptop and every 2-3 months I check the monitor with the colorimeter Spyder Express 5.

Glass plates

Now I start working with stereoscopic glass plates:

  • Glass plates have been lighted by a LED illuminator, located into a cardboard box.
  • The light is diffused by an opaline glass, positioned on the cardboard box, that carry the glass plate.
  • The glass plate is photographed with my Canon 60D with a 70-300 mm tele, on a tripod.
  • Shot: 1/500 s, f:5, manual focusing, 10 s delay.
