Slide copying on D70?

Hi folks,
I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of a new Nikon D70 with 18-70mm zoom and
had a question about slide copying. I have a Ohnar zoom slide copying
attachment that I used on my old Nikon FE, will I be able to us this
attachment on the D70?
Thanks in advance.

I don't see why not. Try it when you get the D70.

I have the same question. I have lots of slides to convert to digital
and a slide copier for my film SLR. I have my eye on a digital SLR
and wondered what the result of using the slide copier would be.

Give it a try and post your results.

Generally, the result is unsatisfactory. Slide copiers are
designed for a full-frame field of view. Usimg them with an
APS-sized sensor as found in most DSLRs generally results in
copying only the central portion of the slide.

While the OP referred to a zoom slide copier, the only ones
of these that I have seen can zoom in to select only part of
the frame, but can't zoom out to a field of view wider than
the entire slide to be copied (which is what you would need
to get the whole original into the field of view of the DSLR
sensor).

I know a couple of people who have succesfully used one of
the slide copiers designed for use with a bellows attachment.

Here's a $75 attachment that says it's good on a D70:

I'd also be real curious to see the results.
