| We get quite a few enquiries from readers wanting to digitalise their slide collection. They are usually looking for something that will copy them, correct the image, name the file, store it and put the slide away again. There are services like this, but it involves someone coming to your house and it is probably expensive. The obvious answer to the problem of getting slide-capture images into the computer is a film scanner. Despite the advantages of the past few years, these machines are still slow to operate and a big job like copying 20 or so years' worth of images would take close to another 20 years. An alternative is a slide copier, such as the OHNAR Zoom Digital Slide Duplicator on test here. This allows you to copy your images directly into your digital SLR either full-frame or cropped - the magnification runs 1:1 to 2x. This model comes fitted with a mounted slide unit, but if you want to copy stips you need to buy an extra holder. You will also need a T2 adapter to fit the screw - threaded copier to your camera. I found the copier very well made, standing quite apart from the majority of units on the market. The zoom action works smoothly and the slide carrier is able to shift and rotate allowing access to every possible area of the original.The rotation and zoom position can be locked in place and easily repeated from one slide to another. I'm not entirely sure what makes this copier 'digital', but it works on full-frame cameras as well as those with smaller sensors - and even on APS SLRs. |
