Thank you very much for this very interesting link.

I have an archive of uncountable negatives and actually considered all 
those images of my earlier work as lost, as I could never afford to let 
them scan professionally and doing it myself with a scanner is way too 
much time and effort (I bought such a scanner years ago and did some 
trials but finally gave up).

I also have reproduced some of my old prints with the camera but, 
although photographic reproduction was part of my apprenticeship as a 
photographer "a hundred years ago", I haven't been happy with the 
results and on the other hand I didn't want to invest a lot of time to 
learn by myself on trial and error.

Now that I know that there is a book by somebody really specialized in 
this, offering a possible way to bring y negatives to a new life, is 
fantastic.

Watching this video filled me with the hope that maybe I can re-use some 
of my old work - project-fantasies are already filling y head :-)

So again: thanks for the link!
