Art described...
I cut a hole in the cap, large enough to accept a 49mm reverse " Macro
ring, the male to male one, but made for a pentax. I mounted a 50mm 2cam
summicron in reverse. I used a 44mm (basically series VI)-to-49mm step-up
ring, then screwed the male-to-male 49mm into it, stuck it through the
hole in the body cap, and locked the exposed threads in place with a 49mm
filter that I had removed a very scratched filter glass from. I sealed the
entire outer ring in place with black, silicone caulk, to both lock seal
it and seal off all light. <<blah, blah, blah...>>
Thanks for the idea, Art! My mind automatically went to metal ... thinking
of how to match a lens flange from a set of close-up lenses.. I'd never
thought of the lowly body cap! No reason it shouldn't work just
fine! I'll let you know, how it goes when I get the chance to try it.
Thanks again!
