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?

Ok, here is a better (still not perfect, I know) sample I just took:

Original slide - Fuji RD100, OM 35-105. Shot with 5D II and 90/2 at 1:2
(F4).

I would say the resolution is comparable to my OM80/4 1:1 macro.

It may take a better test to verify its edge to edge macro performance.
But for distance objects, while my 100/2 is slightly sharper at the
center, the 90/2 beat it at the edges, it gives a very even edge to edge
performance.
