The thought was to use Kodak film and
get photo disk made with the developing...
Even with the bellows it is tempting, but does it also require a macro
lense. Is there any other use for a slide copier? I've thinking the
answer is get a scanner for the copying the slides.
You've been thinking right!
First off, to copy slides properly, you need:
1) the slide copier, ~$75
2) the bellows, ~175
3) a Zuiko 80/4 macro lens, ~$400
Add those up, and you've paid for a used mid-upper-range consumer
slide scanner. (Although you could try to get by with some other
lens.)
There is no other used for the copier attachment, but of course, the
80/4 has LOTS of other uses!
A slide copier is really best for copying slides onto film.
A film scanner is best for digitizing slides or negatives.
(A flat-bed scanner with transparency adaptor will do neither acceptably. :-)
