Heavens!  You should try it with a 4/300 or 4/400 or 5.6/600, then, or one
of the Reflectars.  The 5.6/300 Kilfitt (the lens used by Jimmy Stewart in
REAR WINDOW, incidentally, mounted on an Exakta) is one of the smaller
Kilfitt offerings.


A previous owner fit a series VIII adaptor and Kodak lens shade to 
the end of the screw-in Kilfitt shade. This GREATLY increases the 
bulk, but lets me use filters which would otherwise be VERY 
difficult. The lens has an extremely odd thread--I think it's 67.5 mm.
