[QUOTE="dwhopson, post: 275992, member: 21816"] Hi everyone, (moderator - if in wrong place, please relocate!) I'm new to the nikon DSLR system. One question I have - and I can't seem to find an answer via the search function - is regarding the use of nikon DSLRs for converting 35mm film to digital. i know when I was using my pentax gear it wasn't much of an issue...just add/reconfigure a bellows unit and slide copier and off I went...I was using m42/screw mount equipment for this. What techniques are people using with nikon DSLRs to achive similar results? i know that attaching a screw mount (m42) lens won't allow for infinity focus via a m42 adaptor...but would that matter when connecting to a bellows unit where the lens is at the other end of the rail? Of course everything is manual (exposure/focus) with this setup...but this would allow me to continue to use my bellows unit and 35mm film transfer setup. Thanks for any insight! [/QUOTE]
