Title: Bad design
Review: This device has a very limited use.They say it's suitable for 67 or 52mm thread lenses, and it's true.But what they don't tell you is that you need about a 70mm focal lens to get the rectangle of the slide in a decent view size.I have a tokina 50mm lens (52mm thread) and what I got is a very small image of the slide, about 1/3 of the whole camera view. Not to mention a lot of ligth comming from the edges of the slide.So, now I have 2 choices: To buy any lens with longer focal distance or to do a huge digital crop of each picture I get from this "copier" (having a loss of quality, of course).Opteka could build a better desing (maybe a set of threaded rings that allow the user to choose the right tube lenght, instead of a sinle pipe). But at least, they must warn the customer about the focal lenght needed for this copier to work properly.
Is the review positive or negative?
