As an alternative to using a scanner, I thought I would have an attempt at digitising some 35mm black and white negatives with a Panasonic G2 Micro 4/3 camera. I also have a very sharp Canon FD 50mm macro lens that belonged to my father that I can mount to the camera with an adapter. I could also purchase a negative carrier from eBay to keep the film relatively flat. Though I'm not so sure on what sort of diffused light source I can use behind the negatives. Any suggestions for this?
The other thing is I am fairly new to digital cameras and haven't done any RAW processing as yet. I am happy to shoot the negs in JPEG to simplify the process though is it true that RAW will offer greater dynamic range? If so, would that be the better option to reproduce all the various tones in the negatives?
