I'm having a go at doing this the other way Ken, from digital to slide. I still have my bellows A set and slide copier attachment and I agree it's a good combination. I have an Epson V600 and I'm delighted with the results from scanning with this, although I would have gone for the V850 (I think) in hindsight, as it scans 12 rather than the 4 slides at a time mine does. Given the many thousands that have to still be done, this is a real long term project. Some time ago I acquired a full frame camera, and that is the easiest of the lot to copy slides with without fuss, as a 60mm lens and a slide copier attachment gives perfect reproduction without all the fiddling with bellows etc. Good for well exposed slides, but those that require a little help later in post production software are still best scanned.
