[Leica] Interesting article on digitizing film

[Sonny Carter]

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.
