I've got one. Actually it's not mine. A friend lent me it. But I have to give him back the scanner. I would use the film adaptor as a light table and photographing my slides with my digital camera. So I have to power supply the FA, but I don't know the pinout of the connector, and I wouldn't damage the FA of my friend. -- JiPaul. / /--/--//\\ Jean-Paul Blanc |/| L |\\\ quelquepart en (somewhere in) \/|| = |||\\\ FRANCE

If it does would be hard to photograph. I wouldn't go for one of the cheap slide duplicators, the best reasonably priced way to digitize slides is with a macro lens, even one that only goes to a 1:2 magnification (1/2 size on the sensor) is enogh to get a good duplication. A small light table is sufficient for a light source, remember to mask outside the slide. Another option is to get a real slide duplicator, these are pro level machines that have a rigid connection with the camera and the slide. Noticed a couple of Bessler units on Ebay (these are very heavy). Tom

So I'm afraid Opteka adapters don't work for that. Thanks a lot for your answer. -- JiPaul. / /--/--//\\ Jean-Paul Blanc |/| L |\\\ quelquepart en (somewhere in) \/|| = |||\\\ FRANCE
