Easier still if you can find one, is the visoflex version of the mount tube. Stephen Gandy sells several viso-to-whatever mount adapters. The R version can also be adapted to Canon EOS with Novoflex's adapter. I've also heard of some folks just removing the R mount and attaching an Olympus mount. Since the R flange-to-film distance is one of the deepest there's no problem getting infinity focus this way. The lens will probably focus a bit beyond infinity, and you'd lose a tiny bit of near-focus but you wouldn't confuse the lens' distance scale 'cuz IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE!!
