Based upon the idea of the extension tube maybe it would be a easier to use it on a macro bellows. For using e.g. Canon lenses on a different body for macro works. That spares you the necessity to find something suitable for the camera end as you would need it with tubular device (screw mounts excluded). You can also put it on a lens board of a LF (View)camera to make e.g. an easy to swap pinhole board by using a body cap with a hole drilled in it's center with the pinhole mounted behind the hole (very much like Lenox Laser's pinhole devices for SLRs). No shutter needed. You can also use differnt sizes of pinholes for different "focal" lengths this way. Just swap the body cap. (Of course building a complete pinhole camera around it would be an option). You can also mount it to a holder (or grip) to use a reversed lens a magnifying glass when working on a camera. I also remember a website that showed how to convert a P&S digital camera to be used with exchangable lenses. If needed I can try to find the link. Finally you can also mount it to a board to be used as simple lens holders for diplaying lenses. Regards from Austria Martin |
