Re: Slide holding for Scanning - Ohnar and Other Options

Thanks for those replies. I like that slide holder. At the moment I'm making an extension for the bellows bars so that I can mount the Ohnar holder at the right distance but the Ohnar holder doesn't need to be the final answer.

One step at a time... making a new holder is definitely an option... when I'm done making the other bits.

The opal screen can be further back when I get around to ordering a bigger piece - one good thing with the Ohnar holder is that the screen can be hinged out of the way. I don't plan to rigidly mount the light source or opal screen - it's only the slide holder and optical train that need to be kept in good alignment and focus.

I'm definitely preferring the horizontal rails arrangement at the moment - much less of a fight with gravity when making your own setup.
