  • Ha, nice hack ๐Ÿ™‚
    I suppose if you'd perfect this technique a bit you'll get better results than those digitalizer things you linked to above.

    Have you thought about actually getting a slide projector (maybe sell it on a few weeks later)?
    Looking at slides on a big wall is such an amazing experience, most people have forgotten this, it's much nicer than even expensive digital video projectors, the colours are gorgeous..
    ..plus, you could take a photo with your smartphone of the huge projected image on the wall, this will likely do really well in terms of digitizing the slide as well..

  • I posted some of these on Facebook and one of my mates mentioned that he has a Canon & Nikon scanner that he is willing to lend me so I will see how they work and give it a go. In the meantime the immediate family seem happy enough with the results.

  • You might wanna check if using the clip-on macro lens really gives better reults, they are usually pretty shit quality / just for fun (so you might get better results without it / having your phone not as close etc.)

    Anyways I think those "scans" look really great, colours are amazing ๐Ÿฅฐ
    Plus some nice photos to begin with๐Ÿ™‚

    The Canon / Nikon scanners likely will give better results but prepare for tedious handling / long scanning times etc. - you really might be better off with your method..

    Ps: thanks for sharing all this, I'm sure this will be of use to quite a few people on here
