Hi Les,

Its a while ago, but think I mounted it simply (reversed!)into a fitting
hole I drilled into a body cap. Focus adjustment by moving the camera, no
diaphragm.I relied on the OTF measurement and got very decent results (no
flash, 800 asa film).  But I experimented a bit with a piece of thin copper
sheet with a small hole ( 1-2 mm?) in front of the lens, which gave an
amazing depth of field (its just like the Zoerkendoerfer " depth of field
extender" )
Better solution would be the use of a T-ring and some home made adapter, but
I had no time to do it.
I also used a Rodenstock Ysaron 25/4 (enlarger lens for half format) with
some nice results.

If you think this gets too far off topic, you can contact me directly :

 Have fun trying!
Rainer

I have an orphaned A26 sitting in a closet, so this intrigues me. How
did you mount it to the Oly?
