Duplicating slides

[hoppinghippo]

Can anyone advise on how to go about duplicating slides? is there some attachment for the camera body or something? and how much does it cost? thanx!

I read in a photo book some time ago there's some kind of attachment tube to duplicate mounted slides. However, you've got to provide your own light source, and I believe a 1:1 macro lens is necessary to duplicate the slide.

fotohub does it for 1.50 per piece from original slide...
5 from negatives,
6 from soft copy.

and they are overpriced... please let me know if there are cheaper rates around thanks!

I can loan my slide copier for free if anyone needs it.

Procedures of use can be found here.
