Hi,
I am embarking on a project to digitize a 35mm slide archive. I have set up a rig to photograph the slides with a macro lens.
What would the ideal light source be so that I may make a definitive assumption about the copy systems white balance?
I have soft boxes with continuous tungsten lamps, Canon Speedlite flash heads, and some cheapo low grade LED panels.
I live in a place with lots of clear blue sky.
I know the slides may, and will have white balance issues, and would like to think that my reproductions start with a faithful representation of the slides as they exist.
I think a continuous light source will enable easy confirmation of focus, framing etc. so I inclined to try that, but am seeking suggestions.
What would you suggest?
Thank you.
