In recent times I've tried several methods of scanning slides. In reverse order from worst to best in my opinion: 4. Bellows and Slide Copier A - just too fiddly setting it up for one slide at a time. 3. Nikon Coolscan IV film scanner - better products available now and this is slow, one slide at a time. 2. Nikon D800, tripod, 60mm lens and slide copier attachment. For good slides, a good method, but again one at a time. 1. Epson V600 flat bed scanner. Excellent results and scans 4 slides at a time. In hindsight, a V850 would have been better, as I understand it tackles 12 slides at a time, both are great with negatives and photograph scanning. Overall, time has moved on and the best results come from scanning with the Epson, and has none of the setting up issues that using a camera has.
