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

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?
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.
