This was a pretty quick method as all I had to do was to swap the slide on the light box, wait for the phone to focus and then press the shutter. There is a slight wobble on the phone support but I could manage that.
I was in the middle of this and my eldest walks by and mentions that he has some of those clip on lenses that sit over the phone cam lens and provide various different effects with the macro lens seemingly the best. This allowed me to get the phone much closer to the slide and therefore a better definition and less to crop out although it does lose focus on the edges of the picture for example me and most of my mum's beehive...
Here's my mum with me in 1964.
