I have an EOS3 with some lenses (no macro) and an A-1 with standard lens. I have recently acquired a Canon FD bellows unit plus slide duplicator and would like to use it to make negatives from my slides to print (this is not critical work, since I usulally do this through a large format internegative, but I would like reasonable quality).
<p>
I have two questions:
<p>
1. Is there any advantage in using the EOS equipment for this purpose? I do not have the macro adaptor to fit EOS body to bellows at present)and unless EOS system gives me definite advantage I would prefer to use FD system..
<p>
2. What is the best light source, flash (I have several speedlites) or natural light. If flash, how do I calculate the exposure?
Use of FD Bellows: EOS or FD system best?
