If you have a macro/micro capable lens (and a slide projector) then you can use your DSLR. If you want to get such a lens, here's an excuse.

If you have a macro/micro capable lens then you can satisfy "on the cheap." If you want to get one, here's an excuse.

I used to own the non-AI version of this lens and it was one of the sharpest I've ever used in film bodies. I suggest you check out AI conversion if you bring it into the digital world.

Beautiful shot! Your generosity to her should be an example to us all.

I used a Kodak slide projector (with projection lens removed) as a slide holder and light source. D7100 with 85mm Micro-Nikkor and focusing rail.
In the lamp compartment, I removed the lens closest to the slide holder and substituted a round disk of white polycarbonate downstream from the heat-absorbing glass.
Manually cleaned (compressed air) and oriented each slide in the projector. About 1 minute total handling time per slide including the exposure. Shot in RAW to allow any necessary post processing. Auto-focus and aperture-priority exposure to keep it simple.
Not perfect, but it sure is good to have inexpensive access to all of my slides again.

Here's another type of product that has minimal bulk and weight, yet it is capable of taking some of the pain out of "sitting and waiting for hours on end." http://www.nadachair.com

Don't know if you've been to Whidbey Island before, but there is much to explore (and photograph). You may never leave the island. This is within a few miles of the NAS. It's called sunset beach and on the north end of West Beach Road.
