Response to Best film/dev for copy negatives?

Conrad, yeah it is expensive stuff, but it works. Rather than shooting the neg. like a slide dupe, why don't you just make a high-quality print (good range of tones) and just shoot a 4x5 copy neg. of it? That's a pretty cheap way to do it (providing you shoot 4x5..)You might also want to look into Ilford Ortho Copy film for making an enlarged neg. Yes, a flash would be the same as a "bump", takes me back to my stat camera days...There's another Kodak film that I've never used, that's called 5360 duplicating film. This is a one-step ortho film as well, Freestyle has it listed at $6.95 for 50 4x5 sheets. I think it's probably a graphic arts film on an actate base, but I'm not sure.If you have a polaroid back, you could also use Type 55 in 2 steps as well. I use this for internegs using a color head, and it works pretty good.
