More or less the same as the Leitz Photar range. I work with these Photar-
lenses on my R-bellows and on my microscopes. These lenses have RMS-thread.
Leitz made also a special set for the larger Aristophot-bellows with 40mm
thread.. There was also a set of Milar-lenses for macro-photography.
Great stuff for specialists!

Regards

Fred

ran across this
<http://cgi.ebay.com/Nikon-Ultra-Micro-Nikkor-Camera-Lens-28-1-1-8-/26068120
9445?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item3cb1cf9665#ht_1953wt_1141>

tried to track down some info on it
and found this:

28 mm f/1.8
Ultra-Micro-Nikkor 5 Originating from a series of industrial lenses
optimised for extreme sharpness (up to 1.200 lines/mm resolution!), this
Ultra-Micro lens certainly delivers the goods. It is designed with an image
circle of just 8 mm and optimised for 1:10 magnification, so the best way to
employ it for macrophotography is reversing it on a medium- to large-format
camera. At 10:1 (10X magnification) it then will give frame-filling shots
for the 6x9 cm format with incredible and stunning image detail. I mostly
use it on my 1955-vintage Linhof Technika field camera for extreme macro
work. Optimum apertures are f/2-f/5.6.
