I dont have any extensions or
tubes for the Canon 300D
a look on ebay says none in the country, besides no current job so Im
tight and dont spend money
How does 6.72 U$D INCLUDING SHIPPING sound?

Not automatic stop-down, and noticably inferior workmanship compared to
what Canon makes, but still quite usable.

resolution, just more magnification.
More magnification can make it feasable to
photograph one frame of the
fiche at a time.
Higher resolution may make it feasable to photograph the entire fiche card
at once.
How many cards are you doing?
not catalogued yet but I think I have over 2 feet
thick of fiche cards
and at 4 thou
each that means around 6000 ish
I will continue as I am and catalogue first and only scan on request
My personal preference is to adapt to M39 and use an enlarger lens (flat
field). ?With M39 lens and Exakta mount bellows, I have to adapt.
There are also some cheap adapters for microscope objectives (RMS mount)
But, an EOS reversing ring (again, Chinese workmanship) is very
cheap.
The canon with its mirror is basicly not really suitable to the high
picture qty needed here
hence me looking for a more suitable body to scavange/use, I really
need a live PC image for lining up
So Im not investing in bits to go the canon route
