I can lend you a small USB slide copier that will probably get you better
results, Martin. Its carrier tray holds four slides at a time (push the tray
in, press a couple of buttons to copy the first slide, push the tray forward to
position the next slide, push the buttons again, repeat). It saves the results
on the same USB card you probably use in your camera. The resolution’s good
enough to capture nearly as much detail as you slide has, unless you were using
Kodachrome and a Summicron lens.

Sounds like my kind of solution - cheap but elegant. Have a Sony Alpha 330
but no tripod (didn't make the move list when I downsized!), easy enough to
remedy tho!

I put a white Bristol board on my office wall, set up my projector to get a
full size picture and snapped a picture of each desired sled with my digital
SLR camera on a tripod with a cable release.
Great pictures and easy.
Tried the adaptor on a scanner but each picture took many minutes. Hours and
hours of work.
Hope this helps.

To the photogs in the group:
Any advice on how to go about digitizing 35mm slides? I have a number of
trays that I would like to do and then reclaim some space in my apartment.
I anticipate it being a time consuming process however I won't be doing all
of the slides just some of the better pics. I'm anticipating about a couple
hundred 'keepers' out of what I have. I would also like to do it without
spending a lot of money on equipment I'll only be using for this one
project.
