 (and 1.8/55, screw, normal or reverse) + Pentax Slide-Copier
 Its good !
 
 
 
 Are you able to get full frame with that?
 
 
 Not full frame, approximately 20x30mm with 1.4/50mm

Thats the problem I have been having with the set up, since it is
designed for the full 35mm frame.
I managed to get full frame, but it took a lot of trying.

Do you remember which setup gave you the full frame? I have also spent an
evening juggling with 35, 40, 50 and 55 mm lenses, reverse rings and extension
tubes and did not find a good setup (using the x1 slide copier). I thought the
only way would be to use the slide holder that attaches to the bellows (that I
don't have).

From back to front:
istD, short extension tube to allow mounting of the bellows past the
prism extension, bellows, 77mm lens, +1 close up lens, slide
duplicator.
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.

Not full frame, approximately 20x30mm with 1.4/50mm

I tried two new tests:
- with SMC 2/55mm: almost full frame
- with SMC 4/100 Macro-Bellows: I replaced the tube of Slide-Copier by a 
steel tube, I can do full frame.
(diameter 12mm, lenght 25cm; original is 13mm diameter, 8.5mm lenght)

Nikon has made a dedicated Coolpix digital camera slide duplicator for a
while now. it's adequate, but even on a light table as illumination, it
shows moderate vignetting, depending on camera model. contrast goes up and
so i think you have to shoot RAW to get the contrast back down without
losing too much shadow or highlight detail. i use mine when i have to scan a
bunch of slides quickly and don't need high quality. mostly, i loan it out
to friends who own Coolpix cameras and need to copy some slides or negatives
of their own.

 There has been some discussion here about finding a slide
 duplicator for the istd.  Well, I was looking at some slides
 on the light box earlier, and decided to try out the little
 Sony's macro setup to copy a slide.  I did a few, and seem
 to have gotten a little better at it.  So, FWIW, here's a
 slide duplicated/scanned with the Sony.

I have tried:
*istD + M42/K adaptor + Pentax Auto-Bellow (screw) + SMC Takunar 1.4/50 
(and 1.8/55, screw, normal or reverse) + Pentax Slide-Copier
Its good !

Shel,
It looks pretty good to me. I was thinking about doing the same thing a
while ago with my Oly 5050 but never got around to do it... (cause I'm
lazy). I'll give it a try this weekend if the weather is bad... grin
