Description This is my incredibly, can't believe there could be more, improvised negative scanning facility. It consists of a flatbed scanner, half a CD case, a desk lamp and a CD rom drive. The CD case flattens the negs with the cd rom as weight and the lamp backlights them sufficiently while the scanner interprets. The results aren't tooo bad but I will be soon building something more solid and wellthought out.
