If you're going to do lots of copying, or if you just like
gizmos and gadgets (me!), then using/getting a dichroic
copystand light source is an alternative to color correction
filters.  Instead you can just dial-in the correction factors
(which come on the film, at least on Kodak 5071 slide
copying film).  Projector-style reflection halogen lamp in
mine is pretty bright too, and that helps.  So if you're going
as far as copy attachment connected to a bellows unit, this
would be something to think about (and hunt for).

A cheapie way is to just get one of those slide duplicating tubes
that usually are T-mount adaptable to most any camera.  They're
usually fixed f/stop (really tiny) and some models have up to
a 4x (area) zoom, others are fixed at 1x.  They're as cheap as
10 dollars on eBay.  May cost you that or about the same  just for
a T-mount adapter if it doesn't come with the appropriate one.  :-)

P.S. - I've another 100' roll of 5071 on order that should arrive
          in the next couple days.  Although one can buy 36-exp rolls
          of the stuff, I've noticed that the percentage one can save via
          the "bulk" 100' roll route is MUCH higher with this film than
          with other slide films.  Savings could be as high as 80% if one
          actually uses the whole bulk roll (18~19 36 exp rolls), unlike
          the much more marginal (maybe 20% or less) savings with
          more ordinary slide film (such as Provia 100F which I've been
          buying en masse of late).
