I held my Russian MTO 500 Mirror lens over the mount of my Pentax 6x7 Mk II and I got a good result here !! It was DIM to focus as lens is only f8. I think I used the 'Spot Metering' on the pentaprism. Camera was on a tripod of course. Subject is outside our back door in bright light. You can see the 'Doughnut Rings' of a Mirror Lens on the photo ! Film was 09/2002 dated Fuji Provia 100 F.

Free-lensing with that beast must be quite a challenge, but it came out well. K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
