I'm not sure if I posted anything about this before, and rather than hi jack Tom's thread about his Hoya dioptre adapter, I'll post some pictures here of this home made attachment
It's nothing more than the three front elements from a Tamron SP 28-135 that died on me when some of the internal rollers came off and jammed the lens solid, I just couldn't get it apart it was that jammed. So I destroyed the lens and kept the glass, the first three elements were in their mount and I held it in front of a lens on the camera and it magnified hugely. So I glued a Cokin 52mm filter ring on to the back of the remains of the Tamron and it screws nicely onto a lens, such as the Mamiya Sekor 55 / 1.8 that I used for these pictures.
The front of the 'adapter' was about 2 inches from the focusing mark of the Jupiter 11.
I remember trying this thing some time ago and not being very impressed with it, but these results are a lot better. Perhaps the Mamiya suits it? more likely I was being more careful and just got better pictures.
It was a completely random project based on nothing more than a dead lens and idly holding part of it in front of a lens. I wonder what other old worthless zooms could be sacrificed?
