The slide holder goes on the front of a lens, and you get good
resolution quickly.

I had thought of that, but three problems. A slide copier can be as expensive as a scanner. I am not sure that I can get one to fit my Canon camera. I wish to scan other items not just slides.

Thanks anyway

Slides is very high definition compared to your ordinary scanner you want at least 4096 dpi to do them justice - take a few of your best along to a shop that will demo a scanned and look very closely at the images taken, and then look at the slide under a microscope - or blown up to 8' or larger and compare. Then see if you can borrow a camera adapter(and camera) - after all you’re not going to be using it once you've finished this lot. A local photo group may help...Or buy one and rent it out..
