This item is a great help in copying old slides. I had slides I no longer viewed because of the difficulty. Now I can view them on the computer and TV.
For slides, this is the best option to go digital March 23, 2008

I ordered the Slide Copier to digitize some family slides for a friend and I thought at the time of the purchase that if it didn't work that well that I wouldn't be out much money. I was really surprised. The copier couldn't be easier to use. You just screw it onto the end of a lens (using one of the rings that are included). I used the Nikon 18-135mm lens. You put the slide holder into the end and insert a couple of slides. I used a tripod with a lamp (or the window) at the end of the copier for the light source that is needed to see the slide through the viewfinder of the camera. You adjust the exposure and WB on the camera and the zoom on the copier. I took pictures of 3 slide carousels in one day. I used the Nikon Camera Control program to see the captured image immediately on my computer.
If you want to digitize old (or new) slides, this is a simple, inexpensive and remarkable little gadget. For anybody who has slides, why drag out the projector? Just take pictures of them and view them on your monitor as a slideshow or print out the pictures. This is a very good idea for gift giving to any photographer who has ever used slide film.

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.

I bought this device so that I could use my Nikon D70 with 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 lens. The kit states, correctly, that it will fit this combination and includes the necessary adapter ring. What Opteka do not point out is that the large diameter mismatch between the camera lens and the copier means that, if the zoom is set to make the slide fill the sensor, the edges are badly distorted. Zooming out to around 50mm solves this problem but means that only about 70% of the sensor is used, with consequent loss of resolution. Attaching it to a lens with a smaller frontal diamter will ease the problem, so the lens supplied with the D50 and D40 cameras will be more suitable.
It takes a bit of experimentation to get good bright results but the potential is there.
