 Pebbly Background; Image Sharpness Degraded July 22, 2008
Look for my comments on the Bower as well. When I ordered a Bower slide copier for its moveable slide stage (pictured with a yellow box), I got this Opteka copier with a fixed slide stage instead (shown with a red box).
The Opteka does have a somewhat sharper lens than the Bower, but that is saying little. The Opteka still degrades image sharpness substantially. My criteria are not that stringent. But there is a very noticeable reduction in image quality when copying with the Opteka. If you are going to copy hundreds or thousands of slides, you should consider whether all of them looking blurry will matter to you. Also, the cheap, thin diffuser on the Opteka has a pebbly texture, which is visible in the image of the slide copy.
The Bower was much worse. The center was sharp, but the edges looked like one of those blurred-out dream scene images you see in the movies. It was almost indescribably poor.
In comparison, the copy of the same slide that I made with a good quality macro lens was far far better than the results from either slide copier.
I can't recommend either slide copying accessory, and I hope I can save you the trouble of buying two different ones to find out that both were unacceptable.

The Opteka HD Slide Copier for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras works great and easy to use. I digitized about 120 slides for a 80th Birthday DVD and it work flawlessly. Great product and a great price and super fast deliverly.
Slide Copier April 15, 2008
The device worked as advertised. The proper adaptor rings were furnished for my canon zoom lense. A photo bulb and reflective lamp shade works well as a light source for the correct color exposure. Under and over exposed slides can be corrected somewhat. Highly recommended.

Quality wise unit was o.k. Tried to use it with several different lenses, but unit would not focus.There is no means on the unit to focus it.I found the unit worthless.
Beware this copier is not useful for negatives February 27, 2008

I bought the Opteka HD2 slide copier for the Canon EOS and then spend a few hours trying to learn how to use it. I copied a couple of slides with moderate success, using the unit attached to my 28-80 Canon lens. It was difficult to get the slide in focus and to get it lined up to shoot the image, but it was possible. What is not possible is to use it for copying negatives. Most independent editing programs (iPhoto, Photoshop Elements) do not have the necessary software to invert color negatives to positives. They can do black and white, but not color. So the Opteka, which has no software with it, just can't be used to invert color negatives. I had to send it back and buy a much more expensive slide and negative copier, the Nikon Coolscan V. I'm still waiting for delivery of the new machine, but I have high hopes, based on reviews by others.
