 Opteka HD2 Silde Copier May 7, 2007

I have found the Slider Copier a wonderful tool for archiving the family slider collection. It is easy to use and the picture turn out pretty darn good with my Nikon D80. It says to use a light but I recommend shooting out a window with natural light, you get better quality that way... in my humble opinion.

I bought this device so that I could use my Nikon D70 with 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 lens. The kit states, correctly, that it will fit this combination and includes the necessary adapter ring. What Opteka do not point out is that the large diameter mismatch between the camera lens and the copier means that, if the zoom is set to make the slide fill the sensor, the edges are badly distorted. Zooming out to around 50mm solves this problem but means that only about 70% of the sensor is used, with consequent loss of resolution. Attaching it to a lens with a smaller frontal diamter will ease the problem, so the lens supplied with the D50 and D40 cameras will be more suitable.
It takes a bit of experimentation to get good bright results but the potential is there.
Does a good job, and lets me digitize my slides quickly. January 2, 2008

I'm very pleased with the results of this slide copier.
It let's me digitize my slides quickly using my camera (using a scanner is a little too tedious for this job).
Also, using auto-exposure on the camera the resulting image is almost always perfect: Even for my under exposed slides, on auto-expose the camera gives more exposure time to register these and they come out quite well exposed.
The only negative: I have found that handling the unit (putting in slides) causes a little adjustment in the lens focus. You have to use manual focus when using this copier, and you have to verify your focus for each slide.
