I have a large number of Minox 8x11mm negatives that I made over the years from 1995 to 2013. Capturing these into digital format has proven difficult to get the quality that should be there. The Leica SL plus Focusing Bellows R used with a Summicron-R 50mm f/2 lens nets very satisfactory results, finally. 
The Setup:
Using Leitz Focusing Bellows R and Summicron-R 50mm f/2 to copy Minox 8x11mm negatives. Approximate magnification: 2.7:1
Examples:
Deutsches Museum
Munich 1997
Capture, unprocessed.
Inverted and rendered.
Minox B, APX100 - HC110
Processed 01 Mar 98, Taken Nov 97
20100515-0015-20
Deutsches Museum - Turbine
Munich 1997
Capture, unprocessed.
Inverted and rendered.
Minox B, APX100 - HC110
Processed 01 Mar 98, Taken Nov 97

The tripod is temporary, just to test out the setup. It wobbles too much to focus precisely at this high magnification!
I'll make a sturdier stand to hold the camera/bellows/lens assembly more securely and rigidly.
