>4. Sorry, can't help you on availability, much less CHEAP.

>>>Stuart Goggin <SGOGGIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> asked:

>>>I would like to duplicate some Colour slides onto Black and white
Negative
>>>film, this would allow me to use Colour slides on site, then pick the

>>>shots and duplicate them for BW. I do not have any proper macro
equipment
>>>or even a slide copier. At some stage in the future I will look at

>>>the necessary olympus equip. I will probably look at some sort of
bellows
>>>attachment or macro tube, with a detachable slide mounting. I know very
>>>little about this, so I have some questions:
>>>
>>> Is the Olympus Bellows and associated slide copier the best/economical
>>>solution.
>>> Will the Olympus slide duplicator allow one to zoom into areas of a
>slide.
>>> Will the quality of the negative be as good as if I shot it originally
in
>>>B/W
>>> If the bellows are the best option, anyone know of one going CHEAP?
