A Chippy's Answer
Picked up an Ohner Zoom slide copier to digitise some of my old 35mm slides but what I didn't realise is that the sensor in the camera (Pentax K10D) only captures part of the slide on the 1:1 setting. The slide copier will only zoom in from 1:1 not out.
Searching the net I found several ways to overcome this problem which involved taking a hacksaw to the copier or alternatively making one with toilet roll tubes. Neither of these options appealed.
Playing around I found that my bog standard 18-55 lens plus some extension tube lenses worked quite well but with a gap between them and the slide holder.
Out to the workshop & turned up a boxwood tube to fit over the extensions and take the slide holder.
Optics was not on the curriculum at Brentside Sec. Mod. and even if it had been that was 60 years ago so it was a matter of 'cut and fit' for the length to get the slide more or less full frame.
MarkWhat you say & what people hear are not always the same thing.

Nice! did not think of making extension tubes from wood before! I might give that a go.
I have turned some wood to act as a filter holder on a cmera which had no filter thread (old graflex)
