Hi Leon,
I used to scan a lot of slides with a dedicated flat bed transparency scanner which gives great result but is very slow.
Lately I have taken the projection lense out of a slide projector, added a white diffuser screen in place of the internal lense and a low wattage lamp.
Then a digital SLR on macro on a tripod aligned on the slide. You can get very high quality slides scanned very quickly and much better resolution than most slide scanners with great colour straight into photoshop. A fun project. Plenty of examples on the net.

I have a heap of negatives and old slides and thought it may be a good project. 
Thanks.
