     Here's an interesting item for those of you wanting to copy slides
I had one of these once, and found it pretty soft. If you want to dupe slides 
onto film, you're much better off with the OM 80mm f4 macro, a bellows, and a 
copying extension.

Thinking it would be a nifty way to "scan" slides, I then adopted a bellows 
(Nikon PB-4) to micro four thirds, and found I could not capture full slides with the 
matching slide copier, due to the crop factor. (Well, duh!)

After harvest and market season is over this month, I'm planning to extend the 
slide copier bellows, so that I can properly capture an entire 36x24mm slide on 
MFT.

For MFT, repro ratio is about 1:2. One of the OM 50 mm macro lenses should do nicely. No need for bellows, just OM => MFT adapter, and perhaps a 7 mm tube.
