Canon only made bellows for FL and FD mount cameras and lenses. There are some 3rd party bellows for EF cameras and lenses.

Which bellows do you have? Which camera, and which lens do you want to use it with?

Hi.

I have a EOS R and an EOS T7. I have an EF 50mm macro and an EF 100mm macro. I have a c Canon Mount adapter EF-EOS R. I have a vintage Canon Bellows FL and Slide Duplicator.(This came with a %%mm Ring adapter). I want to connect the Bellows and slide duplicator to either the T7 or the R.

I very much appreciate your assitance.

What you are asking for does not exist. No one has made adapters to put EF lenses on an FD mount.

Your best bet is to buy a 3rd party EF bellows that maintains electrical communication.

I believe the FL mount bellows is not compatible with EF and RF mount camera bodies. I recommend that you look for EF mount bellows, which may very likely cost more than either of your cameras.

[EDIT] Another option would a tilt-shift lens for the EF mount.

Thanks for your reply, but let me simplify the question. I am not trying to use the auto focus function of the lens, I am just trying to connect the camera to the bellows and slide duplicator. I can do the focus manually and set the aperture and shutter manually as well. Has to be some adapter or method.

I guess you're thinking of achieving something like this, but as has been said, there's no existing adapter to connect FD mount equipment to an EF or RF mount camera.

There are, however, slide duplicator attachments available on Amazon or Ebay that simply screw into the filter thread of your macro lens. Something like this, for instance.

Would this do the job for you?

This will work. Does it scan 35mm negative strips as well? What is the name of the slide duplicator?

What is the brand and model number of the bellows (in blue)?

Yes they scan negatives or transparencies. There are a lot of them on the market, different brands, I don't think I can post a link on this forum but if you search Amazon or Ebay for 'slide duplicator' you'll find several, some of them come with their own LED light source. I have one and it works fine.

Just throwing it out there. Amazon has tons of film, negative and slide scanners. They might be a lot less cumbersome than one of the set ups above.

I had some 2x2 square slides and just used a light table and macro rail with my EF-S 60mm macro lens.
