HD Slide Copier Adapter [Posted on 2006-11-06]
The step-down adapter that comes with this copier is 58mm-52mm. This was not clear in the documentation. The popular Canon Lens EF-S 17-85MM f4-5.6 IS requires a 67mm-52mm step-down adapter. Once you have the correct adapter the copier works very good.

HD Slide copier [Posted on 2007-01-11]
great product. bought a $300 slide scanner, very poor quality and took forever to scan. This cost me $60+ works great. took me about 6 hrs to copy 400+ slides. made some adjustment on lightroom. very happy with the result. got a lot of compliments about the quality.

HORRENDOUS Optical Quality! [Posted on 2008-07-22]
This is a Bower brand slide copier (shown with the yellow box and moveable slide stage).

The adjustable slide stage is good.

The translucent screen is good.

The quality of construction is good.

The optical quality of the lens is abysmal. It seems incomprehensible to me that anyone would accept this. Only the center of the image is sharp. The outside edges are VERY (not just slightly) unfocused.

When I first ordered this copier from 47th Street Photo, I got an Opteka copier (shown with a red box, and fixed slide stage) instead. Aside from the fact that the image and description were both incorrect (and now appear to be corrected), the Opteka is better quality than the Bower, but neither is anywhere near the quality you would expect from a VERY cheap camera lens.

If you project the slide on a screen and take a picture of it, you will undoubtedly get better quality than the Bower, and will also probably do better than the Opteka.

I opted to borrow a macro lens, and use a modified slide copier (with no optics). You would probably do much better by using a macro lens, and a simple board with a square hole cut in it to hold the slide.

I cannot recommend the Opteka because it noticeably degrades the image sharpness. The Bower is just unbelivably poor. Please save yourself the frustration of trying to get your money back.
