If you haven't shot-yet, then by far away the easiest and highest quality
way to do it, is to just take "5 or 10" shots of every shot.  That still
gives you six to twelve different images per roll of slide film.

Of course, if your subject is an exploding atomic bomb, then having to
explode ten bombs to make ten copies might be a bit inefficient.  Etc.

I've taken photos (FED 7P format) with Kodak Negative film and had the
big mail-processing place in Florida who's name escapes me process it
(uncut) and "print" the whole uncut-roll of film onto slide film.  They 
could have done any number of copies, and each copy is quite inexpensive 
(done this way).  I thought the result was too grainy, but others have
reported better results.
