That's also why I wanted to dismantle the Super Angulon, as I thought I could maybe use it with the shutter that was attached to this lens. The diameter seemed about right... probably it won't work, but now the simple fact that it doesn't come off annoys me - can't be a good sign :-)
But as Dan suggested, I'll stick to the 90mm and the 150mm for the moment. The 150mm can even be used three-ways, back-element only, front-element only or both together... that way I can get up to 265mm.
