Mike,

Ahh the Ohnar slide copier.
Dave brought one over on a previous visit. Before that I have never tried one, and when we had a go with his we found we were limited by the camera crop factor. So we were not able to copy the whole slide. As our little experiment was more about seeing if we could get similar results to a scanner at smaller file sizes that sort of killed the idea off. Dave has been scanning bucket loads of stuff, but at 150mb each from the scanner we were hoping 6mb RAW each from his D70s would give comparable quality.

As most of what I wanted to play with is on B&W negative that is all I have had a go at, but I will give some trannies a try and post the results. In view of Daves file size problem I am sure he will be asking similar at some point in time.

Don
