Digital camera for Negative film scanning

This negative image was taken by compact digital camera(Canon IXY 900 IS)
 Close up lens and light source are indispensable. It is important technique how to minimize a chromatic aberration.
 Magnifying glass for common using isn't suit for negative scanning.
So I use camera lens upside down (nikkor AF 50mm f1.8 ).This lens sells for cheap price.
Tele zoom 70-300mm can be used. IF the top lens can be removed, you can use it as a high performance close up lens. I recommend you to get and use junk one.
White balance is important too. I set tungsten bulb. Because negative film is covered with orange filter.
