I know it is an odd question but I thought that there must be some analogue enthusiasts in here!
Scanning 35mm negatives with a DSLR is a viable strategy for a high resolution and optimal way to make negatives into positives and digital files.
I wonder whether or not an iPhone with dual lens is capable of such a procedure as the tele lens allows for a macro zoom as well as high resolution. Additionally, the quality of photos of the iPhones with dual lenses can easily compare to entry-level DSLRs.
Has anyone tried to do this and how was the results?
Scanning negatives would require a mount for the 35mm film negatives, a holder for the iPhone used and a light source like a light table or even an iPad. Furthermore, software like Vuescan could then turn the negative into a positive and editting in Lightroom or other could do dust removal and overall optimisation of the quality of the digital photo.
Lomography has made a mount for smartphones but I can read in reviews that it is viable but not optimal, https://shop.lomography.com/en/smartphone-scanner?country=dk.
I would like to be able to scan my negatives my self and as the iPhone X cost the same as a high-end flatbed scanner for negatives, I figured that its processing power and 12 MP dual cameras could prove as a sufficient alternative to a flatbed scanner, adding one more excuse to buy it
