Depending on what quality you need and how many slides you have, the cheap way I used may work: To make a digital slide show to run at my son's rehearsal dinner, I pulled slides from different times during his childhood, and had his fiancee's mother send me some of hers--maybe 60 or 70 slides i

We have a web project at work that involves digitizing some 35mm slides. I have an Epson Perfection V600 Photo which could do the job, but I decided to snag a Pentax Bellows II and slide attachment off of eBay and hope to do the job with my K-3. By my calculations, the K-3 should give the equivale
