I made a temporary "bellows" to go from the duplicator to the lens, as the built in bellows wasn't quite long enough. If I hadn't been using the slide duplicator, it would have been easy, since slide placement could go pretty much any distance required, but then there are the difficulties of precise registration. I will, at some point, get a longer mount for the slide duplicator fabricated, since the only problem with the set-up is that the duplicator needs to be farther from the lens to make up for the smaller format.
