All you need a a bellows. Maybe get one from a retired chimney sweep or organ grinder. And they stopped making that gorgeous lens a long time ago. And they at the time I was looking were hard to find. Which was frustrating as all the other 3 thousand dollar Hassy Zeiss glass was going for 5o bucks. Much more useful than the regular boring 120 macro which I ended up getting. Get a bellows. I bet they are babe magnets. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
