Re: Copying mounted chrome slides with the Nikon ES-1 holder

i did this with my nikon d610 and the sixty mm macro also nikon.  worked fine, gives a twenty four meg file, if you want a much higer quality scan you get in much closer and take four or six shots and stitch them now yuo  have a huge file and quality as good a some ot of the  best

i used to have a nikon cool scan but it was tedious and slow,

there are some attachments for duping slides from the good old days that would work but i went with  copy stand and an assortment of negative and slide holders  desighned for the omega b22 which coveres all but a few negs I have bigger than 6x6. the most important thing i discovered is my ipad makes an ideal light sourse you just get on line and search for a pure white screen. the the pad is dead even across it surface so you could scan four by five easiy just laying them on the pad as it not hot,

a few years back i posted a bung of pics of the set up,
