HI Collin, I use an old Minolta macro focusing rail with a slide copy attachment on it and a DA 50 Macro. I stick an AF360FGZ flash behind pointing right at the diffusion plate of the slide copier for lighting and use my K10D in Av mode which allows me to control the flash using the compensation dial. I shoot RAW to give me more control over the image because it does increase the contrast slightly which is a problem on slides that are already contrasty.
This set up also lets me zoom in on part of the slide and even adjust the level slightly. The down side is manually renaming the files as they are imported to match the slide number so I don't have duplicate entries in my database (but I need to do this with any system I use anyway). I'm happy with the results.
