Well, the Olympus Auto Bellows plus copier and focus rail came up, mint, for the price I expected to pay for the Nikon PB5/PS5 so I jumped on it. Like the PB5 it doesn\'t have the shift and tilt of the PB4 or the Contax/Unitor.
One of the reasons I like the Olympus is it\'s min length is only 36mm, the smallest I\'ve found. (max is also about the longest at 198mm) However, I\'ve also read that the Olympus castings aren\'t as robust as the Nikon ones, so I need to be careful.
Now I need to look out for the Zuiko 80mm f4 bellows lens, specially made for 1:1 with this set up. (2 versions, the later is multi coated, so probably the one to look for with less fringing.)
One went BiN on ebay for £80 mint just last week, they usually get £200+ well used. Doh!
