Projection lenses don't make good taking lenses (yes, I am generalizing here, and I'm sure there are exceptions). Over the years I've tried many combinations of lenses and cameras, and this one didn't go far. On the other hand, I've had great success with reversed 8mm lenses on bellows for macro work, not being willing to spring for Photars and such. The best was a 13mm f/0.9 Switar. * Henning J.
