Re: Slide scanners

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

Re: Slide scanners

Rick - I have and Epson V500 that can only scan 4 slides at once and scan at 4800 like Paul.. However, what I did for organization's sake is projected the photos in my carousels (which had already been pruned to some extent) put my camera on a tri pod and photographed the projected images..

Re: Slide scanners

;No offense taken. But I do like the results at 4800. And with a 35mm transparency of neg, that gives me an image large enough to print a 12 x18 with some adjustment. Here’s a full res scan of a 50 year old BW negative that I scanned for publication.

Have you thought about paying a scanning service. I can’t say I have experience, but I looked into it once. And I may use it yet, though I don’t have anywhere near your number of slides. I don’t know about quality or cost. I do know that they let you decide after scanning which slides you

Hi Rick, In the past, I was been engaged to do such projects from time to time, the last time about a decade or so ago. It's very tedious work and takes forever. Since then, I recommend they have the scanning done by ScanCafe.com, who are well set up to do it efficiently. Plus you don't have

It would be nice to come up with something for medium format that doesn't cost a terrible amount of money. Right now I'm thinking that a light table and a slab of anti-newtonian glass would be best. On Sun, Apr 9, 2017 at 9:58 PM, Bill wrote: > On 4/9/2017 1:56 PM,
