I've just acquired a Rodenstock Rodagon 135 F5.6 enlarger lens that I'd like to use on my D70s & on my bellows as well. Anyone have any hints or suggestions as to what adapters I'll need? The bellows has a M42 lens mount & I have an M42 to M39 adapter coming. I'd like to use the lens reversed but can't seem to find a 40.5mm to M42 adapter...Any help is appreciated...Oh, I also have a BR2 & BR3 for the camera, so I assume I'd need a 52mm to 40.5mm adapter to reverse it on the camera, no?

congrats Scott!
with a 135 on bellows you can go infinity
you don't need to reverse the lens for macro
if you want you can use a 40.5->52 from fotodiox and use a m42 macro reverse ring in your bellow
and show us the pics of spider and ants!

BTW, the lens cost me $3.13. + $4.50 shipping but they refunded the shipping charge as there was a snafu & it didn't ship for several days
