This copier is designed to work with any camera and lens combination (as long
as your camera allows standard threaded devices to
be attached). The copier screws onto the end of the lens or adapter -- just like
a filter -- allowing the camera to produce digital images from traditional 35mm
slides.
Detailed instructions
are included to help ensure that you obtain the highest quality
images.
This copier includes, and is precisely integrated with a very high quality
+10 macro close-up Lens. This lens can be used separately from the copier on your camera - just
unscrew the lens from the copier and screw it onto your camera's lens or
adapter.
You can use various light
sources to illuminate your slides or film. For instance, point your camera, with the slide
copier attachment installed, towards: the sky, a light box, a light bulb, or
point your camera at
a white wall (or white paper taped to a wall) and use your camera's flash.
Depending upon your camera's zoom
range, the digital image produced will completely fill the frame at about 100mm**
zoom, or zoom over 100mm and trim or crop the image as desired. Confine SLR (removable lens)
cameras to around 80-120mm zoom range for best results.
**Please see lens discussion for more in-depth information.
There are a few cameras that function exceptionally well with our standard
copier devices due to their inherent superior macro capability. For these
cameras, we suggest that you use our standard copier instead of this Bower Universal
Pro model. Our standard
copier costs significantly less since it relies upon your camera's
own internal macro capability and doesn't include the Hoya Macro Close-Up Lens. The
standard model has the same functionality and benefits as this Pro model, minus
the Hoya lens. The only cameras that we are currently aware of that fall into this category are
Nikon
Coolpix camera models
8700,
5700,
8400,
5400,
5000,
4500,
4300,
995,
990,
950,
885,
880.
There are other cameras that function very well with our standard device,
however they leave a border around the edge of the image since their macro
magnification is not quite powerful enough to fill the frame.
If you have a large number of slides to copy, we suggest that you may want to
use
this (Professional) model instead of using one of our standard models since the images will
generally require additional editing in your camera or PC if you want to crop
off the border. If however, you have a smaller number of slides or are
searching for a more economical choice, the standard model may perfectly suit
your needs. Customers have reported copying hundreds of
slides with our standard models. The very fine cameras that we provide copiers
for that fall into this category
are specific models of
Sony CyberShot
and
Sony
Mavica cameras.

Please note that this copier
will work with any camera or camcorder lens / adapter combination that ends
with a standard 52mm thread. This table is provided as an aid in determining
which, if any, adapter(s) may be necessary to achieve the target 52mm
thread with particular camera and camcorder models. (Adapters with a "*" are

SLR Lenses |
SLR Lens Adapter(s) |

This copier must be connected to the filter thread end of a lens for proper
functioning - the
copier does not connect directly to the body of the camera.
You should select a lens that has 100mm** of focal length
within it's range to use with the copier, as 100mm will fill the camera's
frame with the image of a slide using this copier. For instance, a 75-150mm
lens or a 35-105mm lens, or a 100mm fixed lens are all good lenses to use
with this copier - any lens that has 100mm within it's focal length range.
The best image quality is achieved at between 80mm and 120mm with SLR lenses
and this copier.
**This 100mm focal length range is as measured in 35mm
equivalency terms. If you don't know the focal length of
your lens in 35mm terms, you will need to convert it with a
multiplier specific to your camera/sensor combination. This is a multiplying
factor that relates your camera’s true focal length to its 35mm equivalent
value. We have provided the multiplier, where known, in the table
above, next to the camera model in the form (m=1.5x). The focal length multiplier should
also be printed in your camera's
owner’s manual. Commonly this multiplier is about
1.5x, and if this is the case, a 100mm lens will be equivalent to a 150mm lens on a 35mm camera
(multiply 100 x 1.5). A
28-90mm lens would
translate to 42-135mm. |
An adapter, if necessary, depends upon the lens that you
choose to use with the copier. After you've selected the lens that you would
like to use with the copier, the next question is, what is the filter thread
size on that lens?
The copier has 52mm threads, so if the filter thread size on the chosen lens is 62mm, you
will need a 62-52mm step-down adapter. If the thread size on the chosen lens
is 46mm, you will need a 46-52mm step-up adapter. Very large or
very small sizes may require two adapters: for instance, 72mm filter threads
will require 72-58mm and 58-52mm step-down adapters.
You will need whatever adapters are necessary to get from the filter thread size on the
chosen lens to the target size of 52mm for the
copier. If the thread size on the lens is 52mm you wont need to use an
adapter. We carry a
selection of standard adapters for your convenience, and they are widely
available elsewhere. |
