Re: Recommendations for Scanning Slides

Thanks!  I just solved my problem ( I think).  I have a light tablet, have made a painter's tape rectangle just slightly smaller than a 2 x 2  mounted slide.  I can just carefully slide the slide in under an edge of the tape.  I set up my Sony a9 with 90mm macro lens on a small tripod with the camera carefully positioned square with the slide surface.  Two second delay after a shutter press and the image is captured.  So far I am really impressed with the detail still preserved in these vintage film images.  I am able to clean, load, and photograph a slide in about 30 seconds; the camera does a wonderful job selecting exposure and white balance.  So far, so good and have done about 100 slides.
