So you must find female-female adapter/ring of one end 42mm one, and M42->FD adapter ($11)
at eBay. But it is extremely difficult to find one, you may have to make it yourself for your need.
Just buy a step-up ring of base 40.5mm AND an another step-up ring of base 42mm one, glue
them together to make for example 40.5->42mm female-female adapter after filing off some parts.
setting I am talking is this:
(reversed EL-Nikkor 50mm) + (female-female ring 40.5->42 or 39->42) + (M42->FD adapter) + (FD mount bellows) + Camera

Or another solution without any bellows could be the VNEX... it has the the 40.5mm filter ring and a small 6mm M39 ring or alternative a 25mm M39 tube for reversing the 40.5mm to M39...
with VNEX you can use the EL NIKKOR N 2.8/50mm as a standard 50mm lens or - like seen in this construction, reverse for macro work 1:1...

Ok, let us see, what we can do with the accessories from VNEX...
There is also a retro - ring in the optional VNEX tool-set shown left part of second row in the picture..
If you combine that retro - ring with the macro - extension - tube in the next picture..
You will get a provisorical lenshood.. ugly, but works perfect for a 75mm lens (50mm x 1.5 crop!)
This solution has two advantages..
1. you have got a lenshood for free, always taken with you..
2. and you can reverse the complete lenshood/ macro-tube Unit together with the lens very fast on the VNEX for immediately doing macro-shots with a reprodution scale of 1:1 instead the normal scale of 1:3 without the tube. If you sometimes really need that 
Advantage: There is no need to take a specialist makro lens with you..! You already take that with you
So this is a great compact solution for "normal" situations .. using good enlarger lenses as a "normal" lens with reproduction scale up to 1:3 and with the tube having directly a macro 1:1 option if reverted the lenshood/lens Unit....
A very compact thing.. have a look at this small comparison in dimension..
(Leica-R Makro Elmarit 2.8/60mm with adaptors, EL NIKKOR N 2.8/50mm with VNEX, Componon 4/28mm with VNEX accessory's brought to a normal M39 to NEX adaptor)
Very compact, isnt it? |
