Richard, thanks for sharing.  Nice to see family shots that would otherwise 
remain in a drawer somewhere.  To digitize some of my older family slides, I 
ended up using the Novoflex negative/transparency holder and focusing stage 
with a macro lens.  Its quick, produces 25MB files with a Leica M or Canon 
5dMk3 and doesn?t require a lot of Photoshop manipulation to get very good 
results. I had a Nikon slide scanner that I could never get consistent 
results and then software became a nightmare when support was discontinued.  
 

Be well,
Richard
