For the money, you can’t beat the Opteka slide copier. It worked as advertised. I copied several slides made back in the 1960′s from a 110 film camera. While the slide frames fit in the copier, the opening wasn’t large enough to get the entire image top to bottom. If the detail I wanted was on the very top of the slide, I inserted it into the copier upside down and vise versa. However, slides produced from 35mm film fit perfectly. I used a Nikon 35-105 macro lens in macro mode on a Nikon D3. Had to manually focus, but it worked fine. I only used that lens because it was the only lens with 52mm filter size. Bottom line, for the money this did the job. It was much quicker than a slide scanner.

Straightforward, cheap and efficient solution for digitizing slides. I am using it with the 67mm adapter ring ( the adapter came with my order at 47 st store, than you ! ) on a D90 in front of a 60W bulb, corrected in Photoshop. I don’t know how a dedicated slide copier would compare but this IS a great solution when you can take them into an image editor of some kind. Very happy with it.

I was very pleased with the quality of the image. Better then anything that I have tried so far.

Nice! I was looking for an inexpensive way to copy some slides and I found this. I did not want to buy a slide scanner as this was going to be a one time job and I just purchased a scanner. This is perfect! I have hundreds of slides to do and although this will be much more time consuming then a scanner, I love taking photos, and I’ve got time! The color is stunning and the picture quality is great(depending on the quality of the origional) A professional wanted to charge me a dollar a slide. If you have the time, then this is the way to go.

Using my Nikon D40 I found that it takes a few try’s to find the best settings to copy slides. Then you still have to crop the image. But it’s a labor of love and the photos are coming out great. Best for the money.
