Better than a scanner...,
By Seattle Slew (Toledo, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Opteka HD² Slide Copier for Canon PowerShot A640 A630 A620 A610 (Electronics)
I looked for 3 hours for a good scanner online to convert thousands of slides to digital, and was comitted to the task, despite the cumbersome nature of scanner transfer. Once I finally found the perfect scanner, I realized they stopped manufacturing it last year. I eventually stumbled on this product, and decided to give it a try. The transfer is fast, accurate, of good quality, and does not cut off any of the slide. The product is adjustable in both directions and makes slide transfer very efficient.

Opteka HD Slide Copier,
This review is from: Opteka HD² Slide Copier for Canon PowerShot A640 A630 A620 A610 (Electronics)
This product is an excellent value. I copied over a thousand old family 35mm slides with excellent results. There are techniques you must learn to get optimum results, like choosing the right camera settings, finding a good light source and being certain to hold the equipment absolutely still during the exposure. I used aperture priority to get maximum depth of field and used automatic color balance. Since my slides were 35 years old in some cases I used Photoshop to rebalance the color, crop and clean up each digital copy. The results were worth it.
After buying a special adaptor, I was able to copy 35mm strip film as well. I had good success copying B&W negatives, but not much luck with color negatives. The construction quality of this product is good but not great. The parts move around a little during use. So you have to be careful that nothing moves during the exposure. The product includes a +10 close-up lens and a useful adaptor that you can use for other assessories.

I must have found 2000 slides in my basement one day and the Opteka Slide Copier helped me duplicated them and now have them in my computers. This is a great product and I feel it works better than using a flat bed scanner to copy slides. It's fun reviewing old slides on the computer and now I can throw out the olds slides which I don't need anymore.
