So I'm building a film scanning setup using a digital camera /p/.
Would a macro extension tube with manual Nikon Nikkor lenses like the 50mm f1.4 AI or 135mm f3.5 AI be a good option instead of buying a dedicated macro lens like the Nikon 60mm f2.8D?
In what ways are the macro lens a much better option?
If it isn't an option, is an old M42 macro lens be a good cheap option? The autocus macro lens are far out of my budget for just scanning purposes.
