Q: 4. Has anyone used this for scanning photo negatives?

A: We cannot test the lens for digitizing film but using an actual film scanner such as the Epson V600 would be much higher quality than using your camera. Please take a look at the following link: https://bhpho.to/3dniCnW The reasons why a scanner would be better than a digital camera are: A scanner has a much higher resolution. A scanner has dust and scratch removal software. A scanner can also scan negatives and reverse the colors back to a positive. A digital camera only shoots one color per pixel and guesses the 2 missing colors. In other words, one pixel is shot as red and the camera estimates how much blue and green are in that same pixel. The next pixel is shot as blue and the camera estimates the red and green. A scanner actually scans the image 3 times with a tri-color filter so it is scanning each pixel as red, green and blue as opposed to guessing the missing colors as a digital camera does. Basically a scanner will be more color accurate, better tonal range and it will give you better highlight and shadow details.
