I have an old Panagor slide duplicator which works like a bomb but gives a
cropped image with an APSC sensor. Takes time though. All I need now is a
K1!

Noted. I'm looking at all options. I need to find something like this in
the
UK. I've seen various duplicators more frequently on eBay USA, but the
issue
for buying one is not only customs charges, but they operate on 110V and
not
UK 240V mains.
Apart from the above, the only difference between the Beseler and the Bowens
is
the ability to adjust filtering for different illumination sources. You
could
do that with the Bowens with fixed filters, assuming you were going to use
it a
lot. A step-down transformer would cost about £20 - I don't expect customs
charges would be significant, if there were any at all.
