Results were clearly not as good as using a scanner but fully acceptable, in my opinion, for archival purposes. Even high contrast Provia 100F slides shot in sunshine were manageable, and it's ever so quick - compared to scanning. Previously I tried the same procedure with my Coolpix 4500 but couldn't get the in-camera contrast set low enough to capture the dynamic range of my most attractive (high contrast) slides. All I lacked was a simple card mask frame into which I could quickly position the slides before each exposure.
