Idea article here.

Here are some ideas for adapters and although they are Nikon that
makes no difference. I think your need a reversing
adapter ring to mount it.

This will be far better than scanning on a flat-bed scanner..


I use that adapter, the Nikon ES-1, on various body
and lens combinations. You don't need a "reversing
adapter" but you will likely need some extension
tubes with 52mm threads. Most vintage tube sets
happen to be 52mm anyway. The tubes go between
the ES-1 and the front of your macro lens. Without
the tubes, you'll get a somewhat cropped image on
a FF body and very cropped image on an APSC body.

With a 55 or 60mm macro lens on a FF body you
won't need tubes. Likewise a 35mm macro on an
APSC body.

The macro lens will absolutely beat any letter size
flatbed scanner. Many film scanners are crap, but
the very best of them are a bit better than using a
macro lens and ES-1 adapter.

I just got a Wolverine F2D Saturn. It is working very well converting Color and B&W
