What's the best way of transferring 3" glass negatives to a digital image?

Scanner can do film strips and standard size slides, but the back light unit isn't big enough for this size or sort of negative.

Only a few to do, so nothing fancy required.

Make a temporary rig that holds them vertical (a few hardback books should do it), a diffuse light source from the rear, and camera on tripod. Tweak in photoshop later.

Not mundane for me, but I was... Not so much triggered... But reminded of things that happened to me, on Saturday there. I had been doing so well too, or so I'd thought.

I just felt my energy drain from my body and well, put it this way, there are new holes in the walls of my living room and bedroom... Oh and a door got it too. Just as well I live alone (which I think is half the problem).

I am back to turning everything over in my mind, every little detail, everything I should have done and said and also what other people did which caused this...

Just swerving into traffic or similar seems quite attractive once more... 😭

Take them to somewhere like Max Spielmanns?
