I’ve been using a Pentax Slide Holder 1X K with Pentax K extension tube #3, a reversing adapter, and a Pentax-M 50mm macro attached to a MFT* digital camera, lit by a Kaiser light table. It’s very quick and the results are good, at least for use as proofs.
Nikon has a setup like it, based around the ES-2 adapter, D850 camera and a 60mm macro lens, specifically for digitising slides & negs, but for some reason they only output jpeg. *with a full-frame digital camera a different set of tubes/lens might be needed but the principle is the same of course, and there would be increased resolution from not cropping the unused bits of the 4/3rds frame. But I don’t have a full frame colour digital camera. > On 1 May 2023, at 18:30, Eric Weir <eew...@comcast.net> wrote: > > > Have you thought about paying a scanning service.
