Hmmm... Are you sure that it works??? It sounds like Jon's
friend is reversing a Zuiko 50/1.8 IN FRONT OF the lens on
his N*k*n digital camera -- I assume that's what Jon meant
when he said "fitting ... onto the filter ring". Now we are
talking about having two lenses in series, each independently
focussed! I am not sure that this will work as intended, and
even if it does, it will not be straight forward.
