At the end of the optical cell there should be some sort of small lenshood. With this lenshood on it won't fit into the 16464. Fortunate you can just pull it off and put it back when you screw the optical cell back into the schnecke. Even more fun is the bellows 2. With the right adapter you can use any L39 lens. This includes most of the high quality enlarging lenses which do an outstanding job as a macro lens. The Schneider componon-s lenses can be bought on Ebay for around $50,- Cheers, Michiel Fokkema G Hopkinson wrote: > Excellent, thanks very much for the specifics, Chris.
