And trust me I've tried a half dozen methods. Make the best quality prints you need to copy. Load your camera with Agfa SCALA B&W slide film, drop prints on floor with window light, camera on tripod, copy prints, send film to lab, get slides back, that's it! Beautiful rich black and white slides from B&W film, you don't have any concerns for colour casts of any kind. You don't need copy stands and lights. Like keep it simple! :) However, a 60 or 100 macro lens is extremely helpful. Leica of course! ;) It's SCALA all the way. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
