[Frameworks] Super 8 frames blown up to photo prints!

[Jeff Kreines]

The Duplikin and Testrite devices are junk.  I used a Duplikin a lot, and it was quite terrible.

You will get better results using a DSLR or SLR with a good macro lens (or extension tubes, or bellows) over a light box.

Doing a high quality digital scan will give the best results, of course, but it will be more expensive and overkill for a still frame or two.
