Does the slide copier screw mount to the lens? If so what is the lens size and are therew converters available? How does lens focal lenght affect copy?

The copier screw mounts directly to the Canon 18-55 mm lenses. I don't know about other lenses. The picture is about 1/3 size. I removed the diffuser and used a white sheet background in the sun to make excellent copies.

Yes. Suggest you visit the maker's website for detail: http://opteka.com/slidecopier.aspx

The copier screws into the filter threads on the lens. I believe the threads are 52mm and I use an adapter to fit my 58mm lens. I don't remember if it originally came with the adapter, or if I bought it separately, but they are available. The copier seems to work best, for me, with a standard to moderately wide angle lens.

The slide copier does screw mount to the lens like a filter would screw in. There are screw mount adaptors which can be purchased separately. Not sure how to answer the last question.

Yes it does but you will need to buy step up rings to get to the thread size of your lens. 55mm start. I used the unit on a 24-105L F4 lens and a 70-200L F4 IS lens. Shot in raw for post processing. For me the 70-200 lens worked better due to the fact that is required less step up rings. Important ...If you do get this you will need a white backdrop to even the lighting into the slide. Also this unit does not have the quality that a dedicated scanner will have.

I'm not sure but pushing in the release screw just causes a tiny pin above it to retract, releasing the lens. You might be able to do the same thing by pushing a paperclip or thin nail into the hole where the release screw goes

I have only used this for slides. I am not aware of a feature that converts photos.

I know very little about photography, but I came up with some measurements:The dummy plastic slide that comes with the adapter measures about:Slide mount: 50mm x 50mmCapture area: 35mm x 23mmLooking at unit itself maybe??Capture area: 36-37mm x 28-29mm

If you've ever used one of those top-loaded Slide Viewers, it's pretty much the same. Slide goes in top slot, capture image, remove slide, and so on. Note other user comments about difficulty in removing slides. You really want to push them in firmly to avoid image cropping, which makes for a tight fit. I have had no problems removing slides but you may want to keep a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers handy.

The HD2 Duplicator I received came with a slide holder only. Photo processor companies in the U.S. normally return the negatives in strips of four images. I don't know about other places in the world. I would have to cut the strip into separate images and mount them into a slide frame before I could use the duplicator. I know that it was possible to get cardboard slide frames to mount 35 mm images yourself years ago. I don't know if it still is. It would be a bit of work.

Kathleen,No, this printer has no ability to scan 35mm slides. It just has a normal flatbed (document-size) scanner. While another answer suggests that it might be possible, flatbed and 35mm scanners work differently. I would never attempt to use this to scan film. You might also check Epson. They have good printers and models that do scan both documents and slides or film negatives.

Well after reading on the canon for the last hour my only question has to do with OCR; no real reviews on how well the Canon performs in this area. There is one fairly major drawback to the Canon from what I can tell: no export to MS Word. Again I haven't tried the thing, but I've read the manual, and there is no mention of the capability. To me this isn't a big deal, I'm more worried about archiving than reformatting. The big plus of course is the apparent scan rate of 15 ppm. With that, I think I'm sold. I have the 215 ready for checkout.

sorry, I don't know. I love the copier, and I don't need to enlarge. I can't find my copy of the manual, but if you get that off the internet, it will tell you what you need to know

The copier will work with the 70D, but the camera is not the important consideration, it is the lense. The device attaches to the camera lense with a 58mm screw mount. Included in the kit is a 58mm to 52 mm adaptor so if you have either a 58mm or 52 mm diameter lense, it will fit perfectly. So far it has worked very well for simple copying and it seems very sturdy

After downloading the product manual, it says "35mm slides are NOT supported." Yeesh! What a shame. I guess the cheapest Canon that can support it is the 5600F. The Epson V300 has good reviews, though, too.

I think I would just copy them like you would a piece of paper and see what comes out. This printer isn't really set up to do things that large, but I have had great luck with slides and tin pics.

The scanning quality is excellent (max = 600dpi). I have not tried to scan in negatives, but the scanning that i did perform caught sufficient detail i would suspect it would be fine. As for slides, that is a different question, as they are in the cardboard; i don't know if that will mess with the focus (being off the glass). Scanning resolution: Max = 600dpi in Jpeg or Tiff. I will run a negative through the scanner hopefully tonight and will let you know for sure.

Not sure if I am answering this correctly but it creates a JPEG image to your computer that you can edit, save and copy and print. It will scan slides, negatives and photos up to 5 x 7. Hope this answers your question.

Yes! The Nikon website lists the ES-1 52 mm Slide Copying Adapter as one of the accessories for the 55 mm Micro Nikkor f 2.8 lens. I have been using the slide adapter quite a lot recently - it is quick and easy, though some experimentation with exposure may be necessary to obtain optimum results. I have the D800 with a 60 mm lens and shoot the slides in the RAW format. Sometimes I'll enter the single file into Photomatix and am amazed at what the camera/software bring out of my old slides.

Thanks a lot! Any other suggestions? All-in-one with medium format slide scanner?

I had no problem with the resolution of either 35mm color or B&W; negs. 35mm slides are no problem either, as long as you remove them from the slide holders (plastic or cardboard usually). the only problem I had was that the unit only lasted two months before it fried, and when it quit it also took out a high dollar flash drive chip ($70.00) that I'll have to replace.
