Originally posted by arnold I will post a photo later. The slide holder came from bellows for screw mount lenses. When I stuck it on the front of the 35mm lens, it was too close and did not get the entire slide. I had about four old filters that I screwed the glass out of, and kept adding them on the front of the lens as spacers until the whole slide showed with some cardboard, which can be cropped later. You can shoot at low speeds because the lens it fixed to the camera.
Ooooh, I see. No picture needed now. I have a pretty clear understanding of what you're doing. So do they make empty spacers like that, or should I just buy some cheap filters and remove the glass? Also do you think a macro tube would work?
