I've often though this would be a good way to make digital slide 
copies, too, analogous to making them on film.  You'd get lower 
resolution with most cameras and less exposure control than with a 
good slide scanner but it would be an awful lot faster and might be 
more than good enough.

Has any one tried to copy slides this way and were you satisfied with 
the results?

Hope this Bravo is the same as the Bravo channel here.  You'd be an 
interesting interviewee for sure.  You must let us know when it's 
expected to be broadcast.
