Re: Copying color negatives with camera

I just want to throw an idea out there for the color filtration. Couldn't you try an older color enlarger? It would have a light source, a color filter head that you can dial in the amounts of magenta, cyan and yellow. Then you have a negative holder that is clamped in and perfectly straight. Then bellows then an enlarger lens you don't need. Remove the lens, rig up an attachment for you camera a lens and you're pretty close to what you need. I would think you could pick up an old used color enlarger pretty cheap.

Any ideas if this would work?
