Something to consider for slide copying would be a pro grade slide
duplicator such as this:

They use a T mount adapter, so there is no problem mounting the camera
of choice, and as the price on this one shows, they can be had pretty
cheaply, as the market for them is next to zero.
A local lab that went out of business here a few years ago gave me their
duplicator for free.

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.

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.
