Me, I vote for scanner over re-photography, because a film scanner with a
bulk loader is simply easier, faster, and just, well, better.

Subject: [OM] Re-photography vs. scanning of slides, was: Legacy lens for
copy work
This raises an old question in my mind. I've got thousands of old
slides to digitize. It's not been done since I dread it. My scanner is
an Epson V700, not bad but not a dedicated film scanner either but it
does have dust/scratch removal.
I don't have an easily used slide copier setup except for the OM bellows
with copier attachment. That's easy to use... on an OM body but I've
never tried (hard enough) to attach it to the 5D and never even thought
about attaching it to the E-M1 until this moment and haven't thought
about the focal length necessary to capture the full 35mm frame.
Who votes for the scanner over re-photography or vice-versa and why?
