Something to consider for slide copying would be a pro grade slide duplicator such as this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/pro-beseler-model-4102-deluxe-dual-mode-slide-duplicator/171687681022?hash=item27f9621bfe They use a T mount adapter, so there is no problem mounting the camera of choice, and

Regarding scanners - I'd second Godfrey's recommendation. I use a Nikon LS 8000, the model which preceded the 9000, and it produces consistent and reliable results. 99% of what I scan is B and Vuescan does a great job with it. I do not find that I need to do much tweaking with B - I just make

Re: Slide & film copying - yet again....

Oh yes: forgot to mention that it does automated IR-based dust/scratch removal for most color slides (not Kodachrome 25) and C-41 process color or B negatives. That alone saves many many hours of time in processing scans of elderly film! G > On May 31, 2016, at 2:50 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi

Re: Slide & film copying - yet again....

You're welcome. There is no truly "fast" way to scan negatives and transparencies while still getting the best quality from them. The best I've been able to come up with in 20 years of scanning practice are reasonably quick ways to do a few scans of 35mm, or fewer of medium format, or a

Re: Slide & film copying - yet again....

Mark, The calculation can be done from the other side: The full sensor size for K-1 in pixels is 7360 x 4912. The physical size is 35.90mm x 24.00mm. 35.9 mm = 1.413386 inches. 7360/1.413386 = 5207 dpi. That's more than 4000 dpi for the same size of the slide film. Or, in yet a different way,

Re: Slide & film copying - yet again....

For 35mm transparencies and negatives, a Spiratone Dupliscope II with the negative accessory (can't recall the name) is commonly available on EBay for $35-60 and does an excellent job. These units have a dedicated flat-field macro lens and use a T-mount to fit to nearly any camera. In my

Re: Slide & film copying - yet again....

Interesting - I wonder how pixel shift would work with a setup like that. For 35mm slide film that would probably be an ideal solution. A 4000dpi scan creates a ~22 megapixel file, smaller than a K3's. Converting color negs might be a challenge. For medium format scans the file sized would

Much to my surprise, I've only just discovered that Pentax have a product in this market for slide and film copying, which was shown in Japan in 2014 as a prototype but is on sale now - no idea how long it has been out, but it costs approx £850 without accessories in the one place I've found it in
