Several of the classic bellows units with slide copiers used a second bellows between the lens and slide holder for this.

Thanks. I've seen pictures of those. I think I need to stick with the path I have started down now. I guess that the dual bellows systems rely on having a thread (or whatever) on both ends of the lens. My enlarger lens has no suitable thread on the front end.

I will probably make something less untidy using mounting board - I think I have some with dark brown facings tucked away somewhere.

I actually started with a slide copier attachment for a Pentax Auto Bellows. A few attempts at jury rigging a setup with it convinced me to buy the bellows as well.

If your enlarger lens has any sort of threads on the front side, you can likely find an adapter that will fit it. I've had good luck finding adapters even for oddball sizes at RafCamera .
