Thanks Tomoko, I've been hoping someone would mention this again. I tried
my 50mm 1.8 reversed on my 135 (just holding it in place) and the image in
the veiwfinder seems very sharp and not distorted. Unfortunately there is
no way to attach it with tape etc because of the built in lens hood on the
135. The answer is one of these rings. Can you post the manufacturer,
part number or something for me to ask my local shop to order?
No, Paul, I don't want to buy one from you if I can get one here in England
;-)
