Thanks Dan!
TX2, 45mm, Provia 100F

The interesting thing about this is this is my first 35mm film 'scan' made by using my DSLR. I used a D750, 60mm Micro Nikkor, a Nikon ES-1 slide copy adapter and this film holder:

Without really trying (I just took a few quick shots to provide proof of concept) it easily matches the best commerical lab scans that I have been paying big $$ for. So I am ecstatic about that. (Sure it's no Peter Figen drum scans, but what is?)
For this pano shot, I just photographed the image twice and did a photo merge in LR.
This is a heavily back lit shot on slide film, which does not have as great a DR as negative film, but yet there is plenty of shadow detail.
This one is Portra 400. You can see the sharpness, easily equal to that of the Nortisu scanners my lab is using.
I didn't have much time to play with it but getting rid of the orange cast was super easy. All I did was use the white balance dropper in LR before processing the image. I do have to experiment some more to figure out the correct colour toning process, then I will save that as a preset for each specific film.

B&W is super easy. All I do is shoot, then invert.
Using the D750 + slide copier is also extremely fast. Once I get accustomed to it I'm guessing maybe 30 sec - 1 minute per image. For 35mm I'm lighting it by using a flash in slave mode, backlighting the film.
