Hi, I currently do 8x12cm pinholes and scan the paper negatives with a flat scanner (not high quality scanner,but it does the job) at 300dpi 100-200%. Then I sent it to a lab to digitally print them (I previously make some kind of sepia tone with Photoshop). Sometimes I shoot film. I just cut 120 film (one or two pieces for each photo). I also scann those film negatives in the same scanner. As I have no transparency adapter, I just hang a lamp over the negative, and put a plain paper between the neg and the light, so it helps to difusse the lamp light, and also this avoids the scanner to scan the lamp itself. This also gives the final photo an old "touch" as the texture of the paper is also diffusely scanned through the negative. I like that effect. If you have a portable light table (those small ones, for slide viewing), you can also use it. The light is more homogeneous, and as the light table has its own diffuser, you don't need to worry about it. For 35mm pinholes, I found them small enough to be scanned this way. In this case, I just print it as a regular photo, and then, if I need to make some corrections, I scan the photo itself. I hope this helps. Regards, Marcelo
