Looking back on it, I may have tried to borrow a true macro lens as it may have produced better results, but overall, I think the pics came out looking great. Total cost for me to do this was only my time as I already owned all of the equipment required for this transfer. Just look for yourself in the portfolio above where I show what came out of the camera and the final results.

If I didn’t like the results, then I would look into spending some real money. I really could not find a definitive opinion on where or how to obtain the best scanning and conversion results so I just gave it a try myself. I can’t tell you that this is best way to do conversions, but I do enjoy a good challenge and overall, I am happy with the results.

I just did it myself with my Kodak Projector and my DSLR I did blow the slides in their trays with compressed air first so maybe this helped a bit. While this sounds important, I really did not have problems with dust showing on my slides… just didn’t…. They claim to remove dust particles and such. Of course, I would have to put up the $1,200 and take a small gamble that I could recover the money.Īn advantage to scanners is the processing software that is highly touted as important. With a bit of luck, this approach would be cost neutral. I figured I can buy one of those great Nikon scanners used on eBay for around $1,200, blast through my slide collection, and then turn around eBay it to the next guy doing a conversion.

I also could not find good data on the quality of the results. I understand why, the work is a bit labor intensive. I looked into various services out there but thought they were just too expensive. Show the sixth and they sneak off to the kitchen. Besides my friends have an attention span of about five pictures in length. Pulling out the Kodak projector, setting up a table and wall… it is just too much of a hassle. I just don’t look at my old slide collection anymore. Only small modifications and tinkering are required. In short, I used my Kodak carousel projector to back-light the slides and shot with them with my DSLR. What to do with my entire library of 35mm slides? I have roughly 3,000 slides in boxes, and loaded into Kodak carousels.
