The main problem with scanners is the price and more importantly the time - neg scanning takes forever! Like Adam, I find using the camera much easier.

I've been using my old Canon 7D with the 60mm macro for copying negs, now I have an M5 and the 28mm and although I haven't used it yet, I'm sure it will work fine.

My new setup will be a copy stand - I've got one I bought second hand on Ebay years ago, but new ones are not expensive, with an A4 LED lightbox and enlarger negative carriers - again common on Ebay. I'll probably get a Z-type camera mount see

Z-tpe stand

and use Camera Connect on my phone rather than a remote release.
