Make Frames of Standard 8 & Super 8 Digital!

In connection with the Piccolo-Booklet Nr. 7 (last Post), I need to digitalize some pics from old Standard 8 / Super 8 movies.
At first I tried it with my expensive Epson-Perfection V800-Photo - Flatbed-Scanner...
I used 2400 dpi, the "real" physical solution. ...and was disappointed, but used the results.

Later I remembered an old trick, I used in analog times: putting the SLR under the Photo-Enlarger und beam the pic directly in the camera (without Objective, of course ;-)

So I tried this with my DSLR (Nikon D 5200).
For this you (your camera) needs:
• LiveView
• a turnable monitor
• Cable-Release / Self-Timer
If available:
• Camera HDR
This time I made it "quick&dirty": lay the camera-body on a block of wood, put the movie-strip into the negative-stage above. Turned off the room-light (is necessary to avoid side-light).

The yellow light-beam is a symbolic addition.

Below the both "scans". I've used only a part of the 24 MPix of the Nikon, 'cause I don'd need more for the print. If you use the whole chip, your 8mm pic becomes 24 MPix!

Next Step to 4x5"

Never I forgot the brand-name "Linhof". My teacher of photography (Umbau) talked about this professional cameras. We, his students, had to work with the "poor" Plaubel.
Now "Linhof" becomes reality for my.
As usually I combined a special version of the Linhof Technika V:

4x5" Linhof Technika V with Metz CT-45 Flash and ergonomic Handle

...a very nice combination of about 4,2 kg ;-)
The first photo I shot, was a "Lomo-Selfie", means, I didn't look though the view-finder.
I need to turn the camera 90°, so the camera-bank did not cover a part of the view.
