Interesting - I wonder how pixel shift would work with a setup like that.
For 35mm slide film that would probably be an ideal solution. A 4000dpi scan creates a ~22 megapixel file, smaller than a K3's. Converting color negs might be a challenge.
For medium format scans the file sized would still be somewhat small compared to a scanner. A 6x7 scanned at 4000 dpi comes in at around 100 megapixels. But if there is no need for such a huge file it would probably still be fine.

Much to my surprise, I've only just discovered that Pentax have a product in this market for slide and film copying, which was shown in Japan in 2014 as a prototype but is on sale now - no idea how long it has been out, but it costs approx £850 without accessories in the one place I've found it in the UK. Product link: http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.uk/en/duplicator.html Further info: z` It looks very much like the bellows set of old reinvented for the digital age, and given it was launched before the K1, talks about set up with K3 & 645 lenses. Usefully, it's capable of taking images of film of various formats (provided you buy the relevant accessories to do so). A product that once again Pentax is very much late to the party for, but their products are normally well worth the wait. I wonder if anyone has seen this and can tell us more. I'm really interested in this. Malcolm
