"Scanning" film with DSLR and macro lens

Does anyone here have a good setup for "scanning" negative film using a Pentax DSLR, marco lens, bellows, and Lightroom/Photoshop? I used to have a Nikon Coolscan but it just wasn't worth keeping for the small quantity of film I shoot. And the Epson flatbed scanners are rather slow.

Would love to see your rig.

If you only shoot a small amount of film, why would it matter if Epson scanners are slow? My V700 does a fantastic job.

You may find some inspiration in an earlier thread here:

Including (in all immodesty) a picture of my own setup:



The setup and processing is described in more detail here:

I might buy a V700, but I already own a K-5 & figured it might be more economical.

Thanks, Stone G., will check that out!
