If there's already a thread on this, please point me in the right direction.
I'm in the process of piecing together a bellows setup to evolve my skills from the point-and-shoot world. Per recommendations/advice/threads from Ray (rmpsrpms), I have a Pentax auto bellows and a El Omegar 75mm f/3.5 Enlarging Lens inbound.
What further what adapters are needed to adapt a Canon EOS Rebel XS / 1000D body on the top and the enlarger lens on the bottom?
Additionally, what would be needed to adapt a microscope objective to the end of the bellows in the event I decide to zoom down to the MM level of viewing? Does anyone sell these types of items on this forum or is eBay/Amazon the way to go?
Lastly, I need to know what type of stand would work best with this setup. I'm using a "homemade" stand now that is very solid, along with having a plan B tripod if needed. Eventually, I would like to get a factory copy stand or a modified microscope stand if not too much $$ that would give me the distance necessary for dime to Ike size coin pics and ultra zoom for MM detail pics.
Any advice/info is greatly appreciated.

Rocky....I read this thread as well. Only difference is that I'm using a bellows vs. extension tubes/helicoid setup.
Not sure what adapters are needed for the camera -->Pentax bellows-->Nikon 75mm EL-Nikkor Lens/Nikon M5 or Plan4 objective.
Will the same EOS-M42 Adapter, M42-M39 adapter, and M42-RMS Adapter listed in the referenced thread work on my setup?

Rocky....don't know what the mount is as it is inbound from ebay. It's a Honeywell Pentax auto bellows if that helps you at all. Canon eos 10mp/1000D body. |

Thanks Rocky. I'll get the adapters, but will hold off on the RMS cone for now. Need to learn the basic setup first before I delve into the microscopic world.
