P3D Re: Duping realist slides

[Ronald Beck <ronald-beck@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The best luck I've had with realist slide duplication has been with a
slide duplicating tube I bought for my standard 35mm camera.  I had to
design a spacer to hold the realist mount centered in the 2x2 slide
holder of the tube.

The tube I have is adjustable so I can zoom in and crop the image if I
want.  I've had pretty good results with this method.

I also bought an Acerscan 620ST scanner (S=scsi, T=transparency lid) to
scan slides but the quality isn't as good as what I get with my dupe
tube.

HTH,
