The extension needed for the ES-2 possibly might be a little different than the ES-1. The ES-1 and 40 mm lens was just about right for a cropped sensor body.

Using a proper extension with this 40 mm DX lens on a full frame body to extend the holder further out would not crop, but then it will be a smaller image, about 2/3 size, just right for a cropped sensor, but which cannot then fill a full frame sensor. My guess is this is significantly understated for a DX lens on a full frame body at 1:1 (but extra extension can always be added as a complete solution for the 40 mm or 60mm lenses on bodies with cropped sensors. The ES-2 user sheet says the 40 mm lens will "crop the edges" when used on a full frame body. The Nikon 40 mm lens will fit the 52mm threads, but it is a DX lens, which we are unlikely to own for a full frame camera. The ES-2 also has 52 mm threads, and provides two 62 mm thread adapters which work on the full frame camera with both old and new Nikon 60 mm macro lens (the ES-1 does not provide the thread adapters). Both the ES-1 and ES-2 are designed for a full frame camera, and extra extension as described below is needed for both of them if used on the 1.5x or 1.6x crop bodies (the same issue either way). I have not used the newer ES-2, I have only looked at its user sheet online. $60 may seem expensive for a slide holder, but the job it does is about priceless. This macro lens will be optically superior to a 10x diopter close up filter on a regular zoom lens. Adding an extension (between the lens and ES-1) lets it work on a cropped sensor DSLR. The ES-1 is an empty tube, a slide holder which contains no glass lens, and is designed to hold the slide in front of a 1:1 macro lens (designed for 55 mm focal length on a full frame body). To work on a DX camera (1.5x crop), the setup as shown also requires an extra 20 mm extension tube between lens and ES-1 (shown, but not included). The ES-1 fits a 52 mm lens filter thread, or a suitable adapter there. It was one thing to sit down one evening with one roll of slides, but it's something entirely different to be facing a few thousand old slides. But the camera is fast, and great for slides.
And some film scanners offer an infrared dust and scratch cleaning feature (often named Digital ICE or FARE) that the camera cannot do, which is extremely useful, but it adds even more time (and may be unsuitable for silver-based Kodachrome slides). The digital camera (with a macro lens) can copy slides very well (and fast), but a real film scanner can be better for color negatives (with the film holders, and better quality for removal of the orange mask, on another page). The Nikon 5000 film scanner did have its SF-210 Auto Slide Feeder accessory ($450) for overnight runs of 50 slides, if it doesn't jam. You may do well to average 10 slides per hour overall, so thousands of slides may take many months, and it's a good bet that you may never finish. Film scanners are very good, but are also very slow.
