I do this using a Beseler Slide Duplicator.  With an adapter for the 
Canon 5D and an enlarger lens, it makes pretty good files - not as 
good as my Nikon LS5000 but a lot faster and more convenient.  The 
Beseler has built in filters or you can use white light or 
flash.  I've had mine for years and it was expensive when I bought 
it, but you can pick them up for almost nothing now on E-Bay. Peter 
Krogh recommends using the DSLR method in his DAM book.
