When I first started shooting with digital cameras, I also tried to use them to digitize old films.
In 2006 I made a pretty good construction:
It was based on the Pentax *ist Ds (my first DSLR, 1.5x crop factor, 6MP). On the camera was mounted the Industar-61L/Z 50/2.8 with a M42x1 extension tube in between (to increase magnification).
The lens was combined with other M42x1 extension tubes and slide/film holders.
As far as I remember, I took the holders from an old slide projector Свет ДМ-4Т (Svet/Light DM-4T) or similar.
The frame was illuminated by reflected light of a flash.
I used this construction to digitize slides (i.e. positive films). The result was good. But color negative films required (at that time) too many difficult actions to restore original colors. So in the latter part of 2006, I switched to a flatbed image scanner that could also scan films.
