Hello all,

Inspired by poilu's setup and its results http://forum.mflenses.com/reala-snapshots-t8318,start,15.html#69845 I would like to di the same because I have some 500 old slides and no one in the city it scannig slides. So the cheapest method would be this.
I've got a scanner, but its only for documents and I don't have enough money for a good , performant scanner.
What are the thing I sould look or ask when I buy a bellow ? Can I , using a bellow to "scan" an entire slide even if the camera is an APS-C sensor one (by moving the slide foward and backward) ?
Thank you .

Cosmin,
a couple of years ago, I bought from Ebay a M42 pentax bellows with included an industar-61L and slide copier. Look for this kind of deals. If I remember well I paid less than 40 Euros for the whole thing (bellows+slide copier unit+industar)

If you use a APS, the slide have to be more away and the lens more near the cam than for full frame.
Some bellow doesn't allow enough movement, if you look at my setup you will see a wooden stick that I use to move the slide more away.
I cannot advice you which bellow allow the more movement and it is difficult to evaluate it on a photography.

I use different focal length to compensate for the wooden stick. With about 75mm you get the whole frame copied even with APS-C sensor. I use a Pentax K-mount Auto-bellows and its slide copier, it doesn't allow enough movement for ~50mm lens on an APS-C camera, but with M75-150@75mm it's fine.
