[Gimp-user] slide copying

[Bob Meetin]

Years ago (decades really)  Nikon used to sell a slide copying gadget 
that you mount in front of the lens, perhaps a couple hundred dollars.  
It was useful, but limiting.

Last summer I bought a refurbished Epson 4490 scanner from the Epson 
clearance store.  It came with attachments and software for copying 35 
mm thru 6x7 cm transparencies (and negatives).  It works wonderfully - 
might have cost a tad over $100 US.

I made a custom template out of cardboard so that I could copy my 4"x5" 
large format transparencies and negatives as well.  This was 
time-consuming but worked.
