Using the Pentax bellows you need a 60-70mm lens to get the
full slide. (or a zoom lens).
A member of this site posted his setup some time ago...

I use one of these bulbs. The light is very even and diffused.

LINKY
Daylight or Warm can be used, because you can adjust the colour later. Daylight would give slightly better results.
This is a corrected to mid-grey WARM bulb. You can see
how even the light is.

Great... All nice bright summery shots. I like the 3rd one best
even though it doesn't have so many summer flowers in it.

The feet look terrible and unfortunately it wouldn't be much
better if you chopped their feet off
The boy in the middle needs to be fully visible and the two
girls swung left and right so that their feet are cropped off
at the edge of the frame and their bodies form perspective
lines. Move them about a bit possibly include one set of feet in
at the side.

You could remove the glass from an old 2x AF TC.

He did file a patent in the 90's for another soft focus
lens, but it never reached production.
It looks to me like the soft design of the 28mm was
achieved by replacing the aspherical element in the
FA 28mm f2.8 AL with a more conventional one.
Couple of shots on a Leica M8 here.....
