harvey19 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 How does the quality compare between scanning 35mm slides onto a digital SD card and photographing the original slide backlit on a lightbox using a good quality SLR and macro lens. It seems to be a quicker rmethod but I am concerned about the quality. The slides are family photos and are are only for family memories not professional use.

Good tripod, make aslide holder take afew to get the correct exposure and away you go. I have never scanned any so can't compare.

It saved me the cost of buying a scanner, in fact it has cost me nothing as I already had a memory stick to transfer them onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
