Tonight I'm going to see what it takes to mount the head of my 135mm Tele-Elmar on my Nikon bellows. I think I even have a screw to Nikon adaptor somewhere. This bellows has a front standard with movements, so it'll be very interesting to see what kind of coverage the 135 has with movements. Funny, a couple of years ago I was looking for a short mount 105mm Nikkor for this, but couldn't find one. Novaflex still has a short mount Nikon 105 around but it's pricy given it's limited usefullness. The Tele-Elmar will likely do the trick, though I'd guess that the 65mm Elmar would be more appropriate for movements. Thanks for the idea. Michael
