Hi Kathy: Well, the purists aren't going to like my suggestions but here goes.(posted 9691 days ago)1. Try a fairly fine grain film like TMX-100. 2. If you don't have a light setup then make the copies in full sun. 3. Get as close as you can with the camera, crop closely. 4. Find someone with a darkroom to help and have him/her add contrast to the print, either printing on a higher grade paper or using vc filters, etc. I've read a lot of advice about using color film to copy prints with but that just copies the yellowing too, in this case. Hope this helps. Mike
