And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Yosemite, 1966
The LT and I have been digitizing some old slides, and they came out pretty good.
Judging by the high country snow and the amount of flow over Bridal Veil Falls, it was taken about this time of year.
In the old days Nikon used to provide an adaptor for a macro lens to facilitate copying the(Kodachrome, of course!)slide to C41 or E6 film.
I suspect a lens adaptor for current digital camera and macro lens technology would provide output with better focus and resolution than any scanner can dream of.
Believe it or not, we are holding the slides up to the sky, and just shooting with a digital camera, downloading, and then editing to match the original. Seems to be working ok. We tried some sort of gizmo once that fit on the end of the lens, but it was a failure.
What are you using to scan the slides?
