Hi

I've been asked to make 35mm slides from some of my original platinum
prints, and wondered if anyone could advise on how to get the best results.
I think I know the basics of copying - keep the artwork and camera perfectly
parallel, and light evenly from 45degrees from two opposite sides.

However, I don't know what film to use (whether colour or b&w (Agfa
Scala?)). Also, is it necessary to use a polariser on the camera and/or on
the lights?

Also, I don't have a 35mm camera, but I should be able to enlist the help of
a friend with a Leica SLR or a Nikon. Is there an 'ideal' lens for this
sort of work (my originals are 5x4").

Thanks in advance

David Nash
