Film digitizing rig - a photo on Flickriver

This is my updated setup for digitizing slides and negatives:

- Nikon D90 camera
- Micro Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI
- extension tube(s)
- Kaiser slimlight plano lightbox
- Copier stand
- Darktable software

Relative to my previous setup, I now have a better lightbox which is thinner and with even illumination. I upgraded from the D80 to the D90 (could also use my D7200, but I rather keep the D90 mounted ready to go). I am also experimenting with longer extension tubes to photograph the film in several shots (increasing the digitization resolution), but this requires stitching them together so makes the workflow more complicated. I also moved from RawTherapee to Darktable which is a pretty good RAW processor. The lightable is pretty good and is supposed to be 5000K but when I set up the D90 to that color temperature there is a color cast; this was fixed by setting the D90 to 5260K.
