You might find this link useful

http://thesybersite.com/minolta/slide-copying/index.htm

There's also a dust and scratch removal tool at the bottom of
the page that will work with Kodachrome. I've just downloaded
it and passed it through twenty virus scanners and it's
100% clean. It's an installer made by Polaroid.

Gregmoll has an article on this site somewhere about how to
set up a Pentax bellows for copying slides, but you need the
bellows and slide holder. I think he used a normal cold bulb
in a tin with a hole cutout for the light source.

colour in the 3rd (or it could be my PC ).

Or was it that you don't like dealing with conceited ebay sellers

Just reverse the lens and buy a xxmm to M42 stepping ring.
These might only be available in 52mm in which case get a
52 to 49mm stepping ring as well.

I don't really like fast food, but I stopped going in Mc Deadthings when they said they didn't carry Vinegar for the fries. Burger King on the other hand did..... and their Burgers are better, but not as good a Jamie Olivers Burgers that you can buy in supermarkets

I doubt if Tony will be licking his lips

Unsharp mask was originally a film technique. Another way of making negatives look sharper was to use a high acutance developer such as Acutol or Rodinal, but nothing looked sharper than the slow films, which could also be made look sharper still with the same developer.
