Summary: Good in Principle
Comment: I bought this device so that I could use my Nikon D70 with 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 lens. The kit states, correctly, that it will fit this combination and includes the necessary adapter ring. What Opteka do not point out is that the large diameter mismatch between the camera lens and the copier means that, if the zoom is set to make the slide fill the sensor, the edges are badly distorted. Zooming out to around 50mm solves this problem but means that only about 70% of the sensor is used, with consequent loss of resolution. Attaching it to a lens with a smaller frontal diamter will ease the problem, so the lens supplied with the D50 and D40 cameras will be more suitable.
It takes a bit of experimentation to get good bright results but the potential is there.

Summary: Does a good job, and lets me digitize my slides quickly.
Comment: I'm very pleased with the results of this slide copier.
It let's me digitize my slides quickly using my camera (using a scanner is a little too tedious for this job).
Also, using auto-exposure on the camera the resulting image is almost always perfect: Even for my under exposed slides, on auto-expose the camera gives more exposure time to register these and they come out quite well exposed.
The only negative: I have found that handling the unit (putting in slides) causes a little adjustment in the lens focus. You have to use manual focus when using this copier, and you have to verify your focus for each slide.

Comment: I am a dentist and I am using this devices and expert with it from a long time ago,I used it to dublicate my old-cases slides and X-rays for my master study,so I was happy when I used these kind of nikon slide dublicator because it is an easy and accurate dublicator and I recommend you to use it with nikon 55-200mm DX AF-S Lens because it fits directly to this lens without the need of the adapting rings also if you feel the duplicated Pictures dark or if the original picture is dark then I recoomend you to make duplication while the duplicator`s Screen is very close to the light source(or to the window if you capture in daylight witch is better) in order to capture a perfect image and for easy focusing also I recommend you to set the camera to capture JPEG+Raw picture format because with Raw picture format you can adjust the contrast,opacity,brightness and the saturation of the pictures in order to acheive better result and don`t worry if your adobe photoshop Cs2 couldn`t open the Raw format,all what you should do is download the Camera Raw Plug-in that is compatable with your camera(for example my nikon D40 Plug-in is Camera Raw 3.7,also work with D70s,for D50 Camera Raw 3.2,for Nikon D80 Camera Raw 3,6,and so on)you can search for the Camera Raw Plug-in that`s compatable with your camera at adobe.com web-site,and believe me you will be astonished from the final result by adobe photoshop in your pictures.
I recommend You to bye this product from amazon.com because they give you an A-Z guirantee , I bought mine from 47th Street Photo through amazon.com and I recieve it from this seller with manifacture damage of the ring that connect the duplicator tube to it`s screen lens and the seller never respond to my e-mails but immediatly after I contact amazon.com they gave me the A-Z guirantee and refund my credit card

Comment: I have found the Slider Copier a wonderful tool for archiving the family slider collection. It is easy to use and the picture turn out pretty darn good with my Nikon D80. It says to use a light but I recommend shooting out a window with natural light, you get better quality that way... in my humble opinion.
