Alexandre,
How does the 35mm Canon fit on a EOS body?
Isn't it an FD mount?

Here's a few more from it. I did some other tests as well and it's quite good... very flat field and little or no CA.

The Oly 38/2.8 macro is designed to be used on bellows or on the 65-116mm telescopic auto tube. It doesn't have a focusing helicoid of its own. Not the tiny macro you are looking for.

It does have a focusing helicoid - doesn't it? I think it even says so in the page I linked to. Mine has a focusing ring at least. It just doesn't do infinite focusing is all. It's a dedicated macro lens. It can also be used with or without extension. My images so far have been without extension.
I'll play with it more and let ya know what I find out.

Hmm, pretty weird...
The helicoid moves the front assembly about 2mm and seems to zoom a little at the same time... But besides that 2mm of movement it doesn't alter the focus.

That 2mm of movement gets to be a pretty huge amount when you have the macro lens mounted out on a bellows at 5x-20x magnification (in the range it is primarily meant to be used). I suspect the 2mm movement is meant just to be an extra, convenient way to smoothly fine-tune the exact focus placement after getting close enough with bellows/extension tube/macro rails adjustments.

Yeah, that makes sense. I've been using it on rails myself.

Yeah, once you get to high mag, you don't use the helicoid to focus, you use the rail.

Very nice sebboh. I've been thinking about getting one those Rokkors as well.
Have recently picked 3 Tamron SP Adaptall lenses. A 17mm (151b), a 24mm f/2.5, and a 90mm Macro f/2.5
My most recent lens is a CZ Jena 35mm f/2.8 Flektogon. Now I've got to pick up an m42 to EF adapter so I can try it out.

Lately it seems every time I go to my local camera shop, seems I end up coming home with a Leica lens. Today I found this:
