One method of "scannning" slides which is cheap and seems to work is
to photograph the slides with a digital camera.
I was told by a fellow and in Herberton (NQ), who runs a camera
museum that this works well.
He showed me a holder he made form a piece of plastic drain pipe
which fits over the lens of his camera (A kodak from memory). He has
devised a few bits and pieces which hold the slide over the open end,
points the camera at the clear blue sky to give even light and click.
The tube needs to be long enough to enable the camera to focus. His
was about nine cm as far as I can remember.
He demonstrated to me by simply holding the transparency in place.
The result on the camera's small viewing screen seemed very good. On
his computer screen is was also pretty good. This may be a cheap way
of digitising slides for those not willing to outlay a fortune.
