Mike,
Rollei made adapters that fitted into the bayonet lens mount of the
SL66. One had a small pilot hole that could be bored out to take a large
format lens in shutter or anything else that could be fitted; one was
machined to take M35x.75 100mm Luminar; one was machined M39x1 for the
M-Componons & enlarging lenses; one was for Luminar and other microscope
lenses. They do come up on Ebay occasionally. They can also be used with
the extension rings and bellows for greater magnification.
There is a 'Bellows' pamphlet for the SL66 which gives various
magnification factors etc, also there are details in the SL66 manual.
Furthermore (!) there is a 'Close-up Handbook' for the 6000 system which
goes into details too. Perchance, :-) I have all of these, so if you
would like me to copy bits of them........, let me know.
I have contacted the factory in the past to ask if they still have
accessories for SL66 and they may still have some of these in a
storeroom (part numbers in manual and brochure - which I have too);
probably worth asking. Email address: info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is on
www.franke-heidecke.net website.

Subject: [rollei_list] Macro with Enlarging Lenses on the SL66?
Has anyone fooled around with enlarging lenses for medium format macro?
I recently picked-up 50mm and 80mm 6-element Nikkor enlarging lenses and
I wonder whether its worth the trouble to adapt them to my Rolleiflex
SL66?
Do they cover 6x6? If so, any idea of which f/stop and amount of
extension required for coverage? I'm just trying to get a ballpark
number to see if they fall into a useful magnification range for me.
I wonder how sharp they will be? The 80/2.8 Planar seems to perform
pretty well but I think the 50/4 Distagon suffers in the macro range
from being a retrofocus design. I don't own one but the 120/5.6 S-Planar
is just too long to consider for some of the higher magnification work I
do.
I haven't got the enlarging lenses yet (still in the mail). I assume
they are LTM in which case I can rig up something to mount them. A blank
SL66 lens board from Hadley Chamberlain and a junked Soviet LTM lens
mount ought to do the trick.
Any guidance somebody can provide that has been down this road?
