Also the Novoflex "tele" lenses are only two element achromats, with very good optical performance. I always knew this, and only recently I realized, that the ELPRO closeup-lens is also a high quality 2-element achromat... So, luggers, did anyone ever try to use an ELPRO-only as a tele-lens? What is the focal length of the different ELPROs? With a bellows and tubes and black tape it might be worth a try! I don't own an ELPRO to try it myself, so am I missing something here? Gerd
