That was SO helpful! I've just inherited myriad slide carousels, looked at all the slide copiers out there and realized I already have the Nikon and the 40mm macro lens so with your video, I'm set! Thanks!

Thanks. Great video. I shoot copies of my color slides with my lens whide open. This gives me a shallow depth of field and I can focus on the film surface and eliminate some of the dust on the glas in front of and behind the film.

Sony DID retain the Minolta Maxxum (MD) auto-focus lens mount, but renamed it the Sony Alpha A-mount, as found on the Alpha 65v, Sony Alpha 77 Mark 2, and other camera bodies. Some time later, they came out with the Sony E-mount for their new line of Sony Nex cameras. Your Minolta macro lens could be used without any adapter on any Sony A-mount body. I recently bought one and have it working properly on an Alpha 77 Mark 2 body, as well as several Minolta Maxxum lenses from the mid-80s to the early 90s.

Nice video! Actually Sony did keep the Minolta mount for a while during its DSLR days, except that at that time it wasn't the MD-mount of the film SLRs anymore, but rather the A-mount. ;-) As you know when they transitioned to mirrorless they introduced the E-mount.

A Nikon LS5000 Coolscan produces a 4000 dpi image of a 35mm slide measuring 4000 x 6000 pixels at around 21 mbs. A camera scan with the ES2 and D850 produces a 8256 x 5504 pixel file at 45 mbs. Does this mean the camera scan image is better than the scanner file?

I haven't seen a scientific test on this, but from my experience I suspect this is the case. I owned an older Nikon Coolscan that produced unremarkable results (by today's standards) and took 38 seconds to scan each slide. Compare that to several seconds per slide with the ES-1and excellent quality with a modern camera, and most people would be hard pressed to search out a dedicated film scanner unless you have very specific needs.

I have a Nikon 105 macro lens. Will I be able to use it?
@JayPierstorff

No, the ES-1 is really designed for a 60mm, so using a 105 macro you won't be able to see the entire slide, only a portion in the center.

First time I have ever heard them referred to an an "ILC" camera. Most references I have heard is "SLR." Is this method compatible with APS-C sensor cameras?

Will the NIkon ES-1 work with a 90mm 2:1 macro lens stepped down to 52mm? What is the range of distance from the lens to the slide that it permits?

I don't have that exact gear to test , but as I understand it, any full frame camera with a 60mm micro/macro lens should do the job.

Yes. For some reason, Nikon has referred to their macro lenses as Micro lenses, going back at least to the early 1970s.
