Aram, this isn't an answer, but about my technique when shooting slides with 
a macro and a digital camera.  I slightly overshoot the slide aperture, then 
go back in PhotoShop and crop the edges out at the same time I'm spotting 
and doing any color corrections.  I find it a lot faster to do that than to 
try to frame the slide precisely, since some might be slightly crooked in 
their mounts anyhow.
