Collection on "D850 as a negative scanner"
Frank Fremerey:
Today I have some time to test the negative scannig feature of the D850. Slide Scans are great, but negative scanning with the builtin function seems to be a disgrace:

Nonetheless I will give it a try...
... if you have any own experience to share, feel free to do so.
For example it would be great if you had a RAW scanning workflow for the D850 as a color negative scanner
Frank Fremerey:
My first hurdle: I press live view and "i" but the negative digitizer function is grayed out and cannot be selected as described in the nanual here:

solution: disable silent mode first!!!!

I don't believe you are using Lightroom Frank, but for those that are, this fellow claims to have created a plugin to convert color neg film:

Good thing is, I have a reference for my conversion in the form of very nice contact sheets...
A first try of D850-builtin-Conversion does not seem to help :o
