Have been photographing slides my father took in 1965 for his lectures on flowers.

Thank heavens for dust on the slides, gives me something to focus on! LOL

The range of exposure on the Ectachrome's is alarming, I am going to try bracketing the exposure to try to get something better out of the slides, taken in bright sunlight with heavy shadows. The EV range of the film must have only been a third of the EV range it was trying to record..

This D800 is a dream, loving it, live view really works, can zoom in on tiny detail, brilliant.

Am sat on a stool feeding slides into the holder and snapping away quite merrily! :thumbs:

Just experimenting at present, need to set up a solid bench.
