The rail is a converted Canon FL Bellows unit that I modified for use with longer macros (150mm to 200mm). I picked up a pair of them back in the late 70's, and gave one of them the "work-over" in my milling machine.

I just picked up a Leica R 35mm f/2, which now completes my wide angle set of lenses along with my Zeiss C/Y mount 28 f/2.8 and my Rokkor 28 f/2.

I just bought a Jupiter 12 for my Voigtlander Bessa R2a. Unfortunately I only found out after the fact that it wont fit because of the rear element so now it will live on my Canon 7.
Good to know. I was thinking about getting one of those for my R2 for fun.

Ordered a 50 mm Macro Takumar Preset from KEH plus a $13 Tamron Adaptall 80-210 mm (hope this is the 103A version), Adaptall 2 Nikon adapter and a Nikon M tube to save on shipping cost.

I have bought a Pentacon 500mm MC f/5.6 already last December. But because of the weight (3.5 Kg) I told my son not to forward it from Berlin (Germany) to Guangzhou (China). He kept it for me. Now that I have been back to Berlin for good (since July 5th) I have unpacked the "monster"-lens, and realized that it had an M42 screw adapter. Ordered yesterday an AF-confirm M42 to EOS adapter. Expect delivery within the next days. I am very eager to try this lens as soon as the adapter arrives.
I'll keep you posted, possibly with some sample shots.

Recently converted to canon and part of the temptation was to convert a Rokkor 58/1.2...! Bought one just now on eBay with a Minolta SRT Super... Cant wait to send it to Jim for the conversion
