Jan,
I thought there might be a chance for using the slide copier, not
knowing
any better. Now I know. Eventually I'll get a scanner just for slides, unless
there is an equivalent alternative, so haven't seen it. btw if I had learned in
class what information I've picked up on this list I would not let my Nikormat
go.
Thanks,
Larry
