I have a D70, and because of the 1.5x factor I can't use my old 55 micro
with the slide copy attachment as it crops the slide. Anybody come up with
a gizmo to copy slides: And yes, I know a "real" slide scanner will do a
better job.

I found a zoom slide duplicator at the BHphoto web site. No endorsement,
just found it.

I used to use a video camera to record slides to put in home movies, and I used
a close up adapter to get in close enough... I made my own slide carrier after
seeing a commercial one... and installed an air-spaced achromat in it as a close
up filter... I got the lens out of an old 3M copier!

Maybe you could fit a close up filter to one of your lenses...

The adapter I saw came with a diopter and an extender for long-ish
telephoto lenses:
