Did you ever find a way to make 'slide duplicates' with the digital?
I've got a bunch of slides that this would make quickly available.
Not a good one.
The best I have come up with involves mounting a bellows K onto the camera
(use a short extension tube to move the bellows rear standard ahead of the
prism), then mount a 77mm onto that with a #1 or #2 (don't remember which at
the moment) close-up lens on the lens. The slide duplicator can them be
mounted, though it's bellows isn't quite long enough to attach to the lens.
I used a piece of black construction paper to make a tube to keep light out.
The close up lens costs sharpness, and any dust on the sensor seems to stick
out like a sore thumb.
It works, but it ain't pretty.
