Jim,
It's a great idea to adapted it on the DSLR with bellow. I saw some people
to adapted old lens with adaptor onto Pentax 67 and focus with its focus
mechanical system in Hong Kong. I never think may adapted it with bellow.
But in my case, my Hasselblad 500C/M without focal-panel shutter, it doesn't
work to me.
My 2 old brass lenses without waterhouse stop slot, I have to take shots
with wide open except to split the lens into 2 parts and insert a shutter at
the middle as modern lens. But as a professional photographer who teach me
to take shots with these old lenses, said that we chase the effect of wide
open of these old lenses, various distortions, no reason to slow down the
speed to reduce these distortions. Modern lenses can make near
distortion-free effect.
My Ebony45s with my 8.5" Petzval brass lens & Betax #5 shutter
