:I've just got hold of an Oly bellows unit (in lovely condition,
:complete with box, DCR and instructions :) ). Is there a way to mount
:a ring flash when using the lens in the reversed position? The "back"
:of the lens mounting panel doesn't appeare to have a filter thread. Or
:are you so close to the subject in that configuration that the flash
:would fry it anyway?

We covered this earlier this year. It appeared that in the internal of the
front plate of the bellows had an old type filter thread, Series VII I
believe it was, so with an adapter and some extra extension (using a couple
of glassless filters - needed to create space for the T10) it would be
possible.
