That's a very good article! Although five years ago, using a camera as
shown, may not have had a "professional" result, current cameras will
produce something much better, especially if you can shoot in RAW
format.
Now I'm going to have to see what I can set up to use with a Canon 20D
to "scan" a bunch of Stereo Realist slides along with that big box of
negatives!
