Phillip,

I don't know if it is still available but I have used a 35mm F2.8 Cannon 
macro lens with  bellows screw mount (RMS thread ?) for years. This is a 
preset and I use it with a Cannon mount plate which I adapted to use on my 
Novoflex bellows for Om. It seems to work very well at much greater than 1:1. 
We have a very expensive Olympus microscope at work but for about 8X 
magnification I like this setup in preference for ease of use. I picked up 
the lens for less than $100 after finding it in the dusty corner of a 
photoshop.

Regards,
Tim Hughes
