Slide duplicator for scanning slides with DSLR
#2
Using a duplicator is what I do right now to get my roughly

6000 slides digitized. It requires a certain amount of time,

an you shoulnd't compare the output with that of a dedicated

slidescanner, however, the method is quite cheap (I payed

15euros for my duplicator ... including a T2-EF adapter...

I bought mine 2nd hand from ebay) and also, the results

are good enough to print A4 (or even A3) if you spend some

more work in postprocessing on the images. Right now,

I can get around 100 slides scanned in 60 minutes. This time

also includes the raw-conversion of the images.



The drawback is, you can only use this on a fullframe dSLR ...

because the duplicator is constructed as a dedicated macro lens

with a magnification between 1:1 and 2:1 ... for a crop camera it

should start at 1:2, and I haven't yet seen such a duplicator.



Just my 2cts ... Rainer
