Noxin, I have to revert to film and my Minolta gear when I want to go with a bellows. May have to compete with with you to find that perfect one floating around on ebay.

I've been jonseing for a Nikon bellows for a long time. been thinking of going used, but still can't find much. i had one on my old film camera (different brand) and miss it quite a bit. Off brand manufacturers cover a lot of stuff, like remote controls, at a reasonable price, but I haven't found a reasonable bellows. I'm guessing the demand for a film scanner is too low now to continue that product line.

Funny you mentioned the Epson V700 Pete. I like the V500 as well. I might need one after I crank out the Velvia, and Ilford black and white this summer from my Zion, Arches, Bryce adventure. I hope the F100 doesn't diappoint^^ I have the D700 by my side just in case. On a side note, I like ebay as well and great deals can be found just be careful who you buy from as everyone knows.

Epson V700 scanner is not to bad, and I just head over to Ebay, for most of my accessories for a lot less than what Nikon would have sold them for, they are maybe not as well made, but they work for me

The old timers around here may recall the days when you could by just about any camera accessory from Nikon. What happened to the bellows, focusing rails, film scanners? (Yeah, I know that Nikon still lists one scanner, but it's NOS.)
