WAAA!!! Yeah, that's the sound of me whining...

I haven't copied slide since I set up my Auto Bellows with my K-20-D (probably 10 years ago...)

So, during a conversation with a friend I was asked to copy some slide for her... I said Sure! It will be great when I use my K1 for a 1:1 copy...

I get all my stuff out of storage (everything was still in working order...) setup my workstation for a convenient workflow... Grab my K1... and it won't fit...!!!

The clearance of the camera's lens mount to the bottom surface (the tripod mount plate) has been increased since the ASP-C sensors went to full frame...! Grrr!

So, I had to copy the slides with my K7...

I really wanted to use my K1...

A short extension tube is all you need. Don't even need one with the aperture lever.

I was going to suggest an extension tube, but I was beaten to it.
