Slide and negative conversion

[geoff.c]

I have a number of 35mm slides and negatives that I want to convert to digital. I am keen to try to do this through the X-T5.

I have options to use the F1.4 16mm, 18-135mm, f1.4 33mm, f2 90mm or 70-300mm zoom lens, but would appreciate recommendations for an adapter that would fit/work on any of these lenses.

Thanks in advance

By an adaptor do you mean an extension  tube or a close-up lens for the filter thread? I would say do not use a zoom. The 33mm with an extension tube might be your best bet.

I have a set of JJC tubes and they seem to work well. At least the do with the 60mm Macro. Just tried withh the 33mm lens. You may need to use both the 11 and 16mm tubes and you will be working extremely close. 

Will try with the 90 when I get a chance.

Thanks KimC - I do have the tubes - very grateful for your thoughts here. I'll give them a try.

As an aside, what do you use to light the slides ?
Do you have a Lightbox ?

Just tried the 90mm lens and even with both tubes, you can't really get close enough. 

As to the "rig", I use a Pentax/Ricoh film duplicator. For lighting, I use a Godox flash unit triggered wirelessly but you could use the EF-60 with the wireless commander or a remote lead.
