My plan is to make RAW files of may old dia pictures (24x36 mm film) using
my Canon EOS 600D camera.

Does anyone have experience and recommendation on which lens to invest in?

not a good method.

buy a good film scanner and do it properly.

Agreed. Use the tool designed for the job rather than something adapted that
won't give as good results. It will save time as well.

yep.

There are aftermarket/third party film holders that can do a much better job
of holding the film flat. It does make a noticeable difference in the quality of
the final image.

there are, and it also requires a lens that is designed for a flat
field, which cost more than everyday lenses.

I have an older Epson 4490 photo scanner (newer models may have more advatages).
That said my unit has holders for 35mm negatives and or color slides plus all of the 120 formates.Of
course it will scan prints which will allow you all of the advatages of digital manipulation.

This ought to give you higher resolution and much faster results...
