    Yep, the things mentioned are definitely good things to consider, and is currently what I'm doing (once my lens arrives)

    Here's the DigitalRev TV episode where Kai does this and compares it with a local lab

    I tried it with my current lenses and it seems to work well so far - once my macro lens arrives, I'll be able to really know how well it turns out.

    My films are negatives so I just throw them into PP and invert the colours.

    Now sits as an antique as it no longer focuses properly.

    Wishlist: Sony RX10iv (or RX10v if it ever comes out)

    Yep! Definitely get yourself a slide duplicator!!

    The methods shown, though it might get you by in a pinch - might, that is - has the potential to be quite messy and unsatisfactory.
    Film warping, light leaks, and film damage are some potential hazards.

    ...

    Er, and how would I know? (Yes, I have tired it in the past)
    CC, Image editing OK.
