Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes!.!.!.! One "cheap and dirty" way is to photograph the negative with a 35mm camera with - color negative film!.!. Not the best, but you will get a positive!. You will need a close up lens (macro) and or other slide duplicating equipment!. At one time these things were very abundant but now hard to find!. www!.calumet!.com may have something!.!. At one time you could buy duplicating film just for this reason, however, it was in 100 ft rolls and is hardy cost effective these days!. Look in your Yellow Pages for photography labs and give em a ringie dingie on the telephone!. Most pro labs should be able to do this, or at least send it to Kodak, where they could!. Bob - TucsonWww@QuestionHome@Com You can't physically turn your negatives into slides!. Your negatives have already gone through the development process - which determines whether your film will be positive, or negative depending on the type of film used!. But, you can have prints made from the negatives and take photographs of them using slide film - which produce positive images (slides) First, have the negatives printed as large as you can, at least 8x10 - the larger the better!. Then get yourself a copy stand, like this one: http://www!.amazon!.com/Adorama-RS-CS920-D!.!.!. Mount your [film] camera on the stand, attach the print onto the base board of the stand, use a good color slide film like fujichrome provia 100F, or velvia 50 (some don't care too much for the super saturated velvia, provia is not quite as saturated and better suited to reproducion)!. Take photos of the prints!. Then send your film out to a pro lab to be processed and mounted!. That is the simplest way, maybe not the cheapest, but simplest!. Slow, fine grain slide film is recommended, and using a small aperture for maximum sharpness - a tripod or copy stand is a must!.Www@QuestionHome@Com If you go to a photo processing place to get the film transferred to slide they are most likely going to send it out to Kodak, almost no one does it anymore but on the plus side you can opt for them to put them on digital for you as wellWww@QuestionHome@Com A good photo lab near you should be able to do it without problems!. You will get your negatives back plus the slides!. The one hour photos in supermarkets will most certainly not be able to do it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Call any pro lab in your area they should be able to do this!. Be aware though that there will a loss in color saturation and sharpness when compared to the original shots on the reversal film!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
