Yup.  I have two.

One of them seems to be a rarity - it came in a box marked "16471/R"
and has a press-fit steel tube inserted in the wide end.  This has
a short thread cut in the outside which _exactly_ fits the filter
thread on the 65mm Elmar.

It's thus ideal for reversing this lens in extreme close-up work.
