Subject: [Leica] OT: Minolta 5400 Scanner vs 20d

The slide was on my light box ( I wanted a daylight source )and a couple of 
extension tubes on a 50mm F1.4 lens. Personally I was surprised how 
well the results compared. I don't have a dedicated macro lens. 
I shot in RAW which allowed me to make sure nothing was being clipped on the
exposure.
