As a supplement to my earlier comment on this post, I thought I’d send along a photo of my current rig. What you see is an Olympus OM-D-E1 Mark ii, with a LUMIX 30mm macro lens, and then the Nikon ES-2 slide and negative copier. There is no other “glass” in what you see, only some step down rings. The ES-2 comes with capability for some limited forward and backward adjustment, to adjust the distance from the front of the lens to the face of the slide to be copied. I came to this rig by trial end error at my local camera store, who sold me the ES-2 earlier, and more recently the LUMIX macro lens. In a post of a couple of months ago, I showed you my original “rig” which used the Olympus PEN-F camera with an Olympus zoom lens and a front-end macro lens by Hoya. This new rig pictured here, eliminates unnecessary glass, uses a fixed focal length macro lens, and a very capable sensor that can capture even very very underexposed slides. Good luck with your own approach, whether it be a scanner (which I tried on many slides, but then went back and re-did a number that were not so good), or something like this, which is really an optical system using the features of the camera (auto white balance to correct color, auto focus, and HDR if needed).
