Clever device at an affodable price
The Nikon ES-1 together with a suitable camera and macro lens is the easiest and best way to copy mounted slides in terms of quality, much better than a prosumer slide scanner. A Nikon full frame camera and a quality macro lens is recommended. The adapter is metal and of high quality as one would expect from Nikon. The slides are held perfectly flat and parallel to the plane of the camera sensor which is often a problem when using other copying methods. It is really quick to change slides as well. It can be used with other lenses besides those recommended by Nikon but each setup needs to be assessed individually, as the critical thing is that the lens will focus close enough. If not, it is possible to buy adapters which fit in front of the lens to increase the distance between the lens and the slide. A good high CRI LED light is also recommended.
