Thanks all

Theres been a fair bit of interest in these copies off slides so hare's a pic of the homemade
gear.
The left one is the new one for doing 120 size which have come back from the agency.
Its a 50 mm Sigma + a 1X close up. Original lens hood fits into the cardboard distancer and slide holder
Right one is the slide holder on the end of the drainpipe tube and screw fit lens hood which goes on the Sigma 150 macro.
Simples !
Cheers

In a 1999 poll, Bagpuss was voted the most popular children's television programme of all time
