Is there an inexpensive device that can be used with an existing flatbed scanner for 35mm negative scanning?

Question

I have a Umax Astra 3400 flatbed scanner, and an HP Officejet 5510 flatbed scanner. I am looking for something that could be used or built that is less than $50 that would allow me to scan 35mm negatives without purchasing a special slide scanner.

Answer 1

I have never used one but backlight boxes are available on the net to project light through the negative and give a proper picture to the scanner

Answer 2

No, But i did try and many times to eat soup with a spoon, especially if a soup is thick (you can thicken the soup effectively by adding some flour). It takes more time, so I enjoy it longer

Answer 3

If you want the negative turned into a photo, have you tried scanning it and use the photo editing software's "negative image" feature?
