I bought a set of Pentax bellows, a Canon FD 28mm and a Pentax K 50mm from Ffordes. The adaptors etc came via Amazon from China and took an age to arrive.
The camera is an Oly EM1 and the ring flash an Oly SRF-11.
It's been great fun messing around, making stuff (I made the focussing rail) and doing tests.
The lenses are used in reverse and the the magnifications ranges from approximately 0.8x with the

It's been great fun messing around, making stuff (the focussing rail and off-camera flash mount) and doing tests.
The lenses are used in reverse and the magnifications range from approximately from 0.8x-3.7x with the 50mm and 3.3-8x with the 28mm.
The ring flash works a treat off-camera in fully auto TTL mode.
My biggest problem is vibration of the rig causing focusing problems, so the next project is a gizmo to clamp the rig to the table.
These are my VERY FIRST SHOTS, I'm reasonably satisfied.
None of the shots have been 'pulled-up'...they are as recorded by the sensor.

My VERY, VERY first shot, terrible quality.
Taken due to impatience using the 28mm with bellows at full extension.
Pin head, approx. 1.5mm dial, magnification 8x.
