Bellows - Any one in particular or...

Thanks, I will look into this equipment. scanning slides with a scanner is a pain. This looks faster
The speed is another thing I like about this combination. Once focus is obtained, you can take either a full roll, strips of film or mounted slides and not have to refocus between frames. Simply pull the film over to the next frame and shoot. For mounted slides just sort them by mount thickness and then shoot them in batches.

Thanks guys for all of your comments and help, especially Nikonian72 for the ebay reference. Went to ebay and was able to acquire a Nikon PB-4. Hunt's Photo had it for auction and I won with a $110.00 bid - 30 day return so I'm comfortable with the purchase.

Looking thru all of this, especially the article you, Qbert, recommended I see that I have a hell-ov-a lot to learn. Looks exciting.
The PB-4 I got from Hunt's has to either have the bellows replaced - the folds are going or returned. KEH is offering some, price much higher but rated in good shape. My G.A.S. is starting.
Now I'll have to replace the extension tubes until I can get a bellows up and running.
Here's something of what I do - this is a marble tube, about 1" in diameter; Avatars come from marbles up to 2 1/2 inches in diameter
