Much to my surprise, I've only just discovered that Pentax have a product in this market for slide and film copying, which was shown in Japan in 2014 as a prototype but is on sale now - no idea how long it has been out, but it costs approx £850 without accessories in the one place I've found it in the UK.
Product link: http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.uk/en/duplicator.html Further info: http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/04/21/pentax-film-duplicator-helps -you-scan-35mm-and-medium-format-film-quicker It looks very much like the bellows set of old reinvented for the digital age, and given it was launched before the K1, talks about set up with K3 & 645 lenses. Usefully, it's capable of taking images of film of various formats (provided you buy the relevant accessories to do so). A product that once again Pentax is very much late to the party for, but their products are normally well worth the wait. I wonder if anyone has seen this and can tell us more. I'm really interested in this.
