Re: Copying photographic prints

Klarno and Guy Parsons have both suggested that you not try to copy color negs with your camera.  I copied my old slides, color negs and bw negs with my GH2 and 50mm lens.  The process for color negatives is a little different, but simple.  In short, I did a custom white balance on a blank negative first.  Then just copy the neg as usual, use the 'negative' operator in any graphics program and adjust the levels ( because the results are usually quite thin ).  My results look fine to me.  Hope you have good results.
