Thank you all for your helpful advice. :) Very helpful, indeed.

i forgot to write something: the 'shooting at the film' technique has another advantage. it takes seconds instead of minutes for each image you digitalize.

first of all you need to spend spending 10 minutes finding the best and exact settings for your dslr, then you use the camera in fully manual (attention: also white balance must be! otherwise the camera will try to remove the eventual intentional cast you may have introduced when shooting) and can digitalize literally hundreds of slides or negatives in an evening getting the best result you dslr and macro lens can give you.

if you use a d2xs with a 105micro lens you get 12mpx images of your negative or slide, which is better than what we've been able to get with different high quality scanners (that took *ages* to acquire 15 slides or b&w negatives).
