(Now, if I could find an M39 female to 52mm female adapter, I could mount my Yashica slide copier attachment to it, adapt the bellows to my 645z, and have a high-quality slide duplicator. I’ve enquired with Grimes. But that’s off-topic.)
It would be relatively easy to adapt it to M39, if you could find an M39 reversing ring for your M39 setup. Was there ever an M39 reversing ring made? I’m sure S. K. Grimes could fab one up easily and relatively cheaply, given that it’s just threads.
