With macro work and slide copying in mind I have already made adaptions to
a Canon FD auto bellows for both EF mount camera and EF lens. See;
http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57104623. In that message is a link to,
what I guess, a first auto focus adapter for manual lenses, an idea I had
in mind for some time as a DIY project. As it happens to be between Leica
M-mount lenses and Sony NEX, it should not be difficult to adapt a slide
duplicator to M-mount and use a Sony FE camera in auto focus mode then.
