Digitising negatives with EM1 - grateful for advice

Not advice but my policy...

Some time back I did the same with my dad's old B&W negs, many of sizes that I've never seen. At that time I used an Epson V700 scanner with film holders, some negs fitted the medium format size, others I had to make custom holders from black mat cardboard.

My policy was to scan everything properly as discoveries were made in what seemed at times unlikely images. Usually finding long lost relatives/ancestors in some small part of some random happy holiday group photos.

Regards..... Guy
