I took the glass out of the negative scanner attachment and attached it to the negative holder. I put that n top of an inverted lamp. I use extension tubes and an Industar 50-2 lens on my Micro 4/3.

Slides work well using this setup, but negative film is not as distinct as I'd want. The contrast isn't that good, and colors are way off. I guess I need more work on the processing side.
