Use a 50 or 100 macro lens and a light box. You don't have to use the L variety or an IS variety. I've used the ordinary USM 100 f/2.8 macro on a 5D classic. Mark III with a Canon macro has more than enough resolution. You will be limited by the slides.
Calibrate the light source if you can in your workflow. You can use a tripod with column reversed over the light box. Cut out a smaller than 2x2 square in black paper and use that as a mask. Or make a little wood frame to help you position the slides in the same spot each time.
Macro lenses are very useful. Try to keep one rather than renting one. Either the 50 or the 100 in any version are fine lenses, sharp, clear. The 100 mm focal length gives you a better working distance to your subject matter. ...Show more →
I fully agree (surprise ) with this advice - I do it in a similar way with my slides.
