I saw this: http://whitemetal.com/pentax/ap_ab_ii/index.htm
And they're not that expensive to buy, so I'm considering it for digitizing a lot of old pictures that my family has. I've been supposed to do this for a long time, but I have no scanner. This seems faster and easier, but I have no experience doing this.
How is this compared to scanning with a quality scanner? I know the resolution will be limited to my camera (Pentax K-5), but that's enough for me. Any ideas or experience to share about this?
I was thinking I could use the Sigma 105mm macro for this as it's a very sharp lens and can focus to 1:1.
