With a SLR, there's an even simpler approach for slides - you can get a simple slide duplicator, which is not very much more than a tube with a lens mount at one end and a clip for the slide at the other. Once you get suitably even lighting behind it, you're sorted - slide in, click, next slide, click, next slide, click. The image quality, when I tested this, seemed pretty good. Unfortunately, most of the duplicators on the market date from the film era, and so the focal length is off for a smaller digital sensor - it's going to give you a little crop of the centre of the slide. You could use a full-frame camera, if you have one lying around, or it's possible someone has made shorter APS-sized ones. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
