You Don't Need A Scanner When You Have A Pentax K-1

Very interesting!

1. I had no idea that the K-1 offers a colour invert function! I checked and it works even in Raw. I have not used it for negatives yet but if it works OK it would be great. Negatives are really hard to digitize.

2. The Pentax Bellows and Slide Copier from the 1970´s is beautifully made and a joy to use. The K-1 did not fit, but I trimmed away some metal and now it works just fine. See review here on Pentaxforums.

A short extension tube between the body and bellows is a more typical solution.
