One member of the Xitek Forum made this construction to scan his old Dia photos. There are some advantages and disadvantages compared to using a classic EPSON970 scanner :

• The center resolution is much higher on the Sony images.
• The edge resolution is better on the Epson
• The scanning speed with the Sony is about 10x faster compared to the Epson
• Post production is much easier with the Sony images than on the dated Epson software+
• Colors are much more vivid on the Sony scanned images.

Personal note: I do have a ton of FF and MF negative and diag images. Would love to find a setup that makes it easy for me to digitalize the images…any idea?
