I've just ordered the Leica R to T adapter which should make things easier. It is ridiculously expensive!!! $750 for an adapter. But it's the only one that does this: This adapter maintains infinity focus and the adapted lens' focal length, and also supports the camera's use of aperture-priority metering, as well as manual exposure mode. The Nikon ES-1 slides in and out like an extension tube for focusing. It is finicky, though. I have to refocus every time I change slides. The Beseler Slide Duplicator has a bellows. I may go back to using that if I can figure out how to attach the camera securely. Once you get it set up, it's much easier to change the slides.
