Made a significant upgrade to my setup. No more cans of beans! I built a copy stand with a video light at the bottom and a glass deck to put the Essential Film Holder on. The stand uses a macro rail which is a big upgrade but a little hard to use mounted vertically. Have to keep the rail screwed tight or it will slide down on its own. I used it in earnest for the first time today and was pleased to learn that I can tether Live View with Lightroom and directly import shots. Makes it a lot easier than leaning over the camera. My real struggle is with keeping the roll of film from touching the ground, I need some kind of take up spool system that will allow me to scan the roll without cutting it and keep it from getting dusty/scratched.
