Can I just use one of these in manual focus / exposure mode

?

Any danger that I could damage my camera?

Some sort of muffler/scarf for a telephoto in this cold weather?

Can I ask the make and speed of the lens on the front?

Is it screw mount?

It's an Olympus OM-Zuiko 50mm f1.8 (and a very nice lens it is too). I have the Olympus adaptor for the bellows, so I can use that on the front.

When I see things like that I keep thinking I never should have sold my 55mm f1.2 Olympus lens :(

All I have to do now is find some suitably small subjects...

(and learn how to focus & expose manually - again)

Now that is some setup! Did you buy the bellows adapter linked to?

No, I bought one from here (http://www.macrobellows.com/shop_mounts.php) in the end. Only because it was a genuine Butterfield one... :D
