Cleaning the slides is a priority.
Some of those converters don’t have much resolution but may be enough to save the memories.
I have been putting off scanning both my dads slides dating back to the mid 50’s and my own from the late 70’s.
I get quite pissed off at the dust I find after a test run on a few slides and drop the project for another time.
I have a slide duplicator to attach to either a 40 or 60 MM lens depending on the camera sensor size.
... Master procrastinator at work!
I used to do 8*10 Cibachrome prints from my slides back in the day,
That process cost a fortune and the fumes possibly shortened my life expectancy as well although those prints should outlive me..
