Medium Format slide duplicator

Cybertrash · Jul 17, 2017

Were there ever any MF Slide duplicators/slide copiers available? 35mm seems to have been very commonplace but for MF I haven't found anything that isn't the newly made one by Pentax.

I've seen a Mamiya 645 holder, it wasn't one of the all-in-one so you had to set up a macro lens or extension tubes behind it.

You can remove the 35mm bellows on many slide duplicators and swap in a medium format rig. My Beseler for example.

I recall Hasselblad had one.

Someone must of had one, most likely Rollei or Hasselblad. Using a good film scanner with scanning software will yield better results than a slide copier. There might be one or two professional labs that will make a dupe if you look hard enough.

Seen the replies, there are some ambigiuities in this thread:

-) There are stand-copiers with built-in light source and body/lens attachments with opal glass . I assume you refer to the latter.

-) These are available to take 5x5cm (35mm) slides. The question is, do they also take 7x7cm (MF) slides.

Your assumptions are correct, that is indeed the question

Yes indeed, Hasselblad had one. It mounts on the 135mm lens.
If you want to know how it looks like, let me know and I will post some pictures when I am back home in a few days.
