[net.rec.photo] Copying slides or negatives

young@homxa.UUCP (Y.HUH) (04/02/85)

I would like to know what kind of films should be used to get the best
results for making:

  - slides    from slides
  - negatives from slides
  - slides    from negatives
  - negatives from negatives

I have a 35mm camera and a slide copying/cropping lens.
Can anyone give me any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Kodak makes a number of films for this purpose. Of special interest
is the special ektachrome that produces slides from negatives... Try
it as a normal film (but be sure to use tungsten light to approximate
the orange 'mask' on negs -- the colors come out backwards !!)

I don't remember the number of that one, or the other copy films,
but have used most of them and they work better than normal films.

A last tip -- when copying from a slide --> slide, be careful not
to have too much contrast. You may want to over-expose a little.
