I used a sheet of paper (standard 8.5x11 sheet of white printer paper) to diffuse the light (a 60W bare bulb). Between the paper and the negative is a cardboard frame with a rectangular hole cut in it (a little wider than 1 frame width and a little shorter than the film height). I'm sure with a better lightsource and better diffuser you could get better results. Not film scanner quality, but not completely horrible either. Of course, dealing with a color neg is probably a whole other ballgame. A little later tonight, I'll scan a neg that I also already have a scan from the print and see how they compare. -=>Donald
