Re: Using EOS-M to copy slides/negatives

I've used the M5 (could have been the M3 - I don't remember) to "scan" some odd sized negatives. I built a custom housing/fixture from an Amazon shipping box with one face replaced with a piece of white paper. I used wireless flash to fire a speedlight pointed at the paper so the negative was through-illuminated with diffuse, reasonably white light. Worked well for what I wanted to do. I used the 100mm macro with adapter but I don't see why the 28mm EF-S wouldn't work provided the math regarding subject size works out satisfactorily.
