mount, allowing use of any lens.
Nikon PB-4, for example. Novoflex still make them. Hama made them. Kopil
made them, and there's one just listed on a well-known auction site.

Jayanand,
Actually Canon has had the three focal length TS lenses for some time. Nikon
is just now catching up. But what Canon's doesn't do is focus into the micro

Len
