Aw man, you sound like my second-grade reading teacher, Moose!

Answering email and drinking beer don’t go together. :-) At least, not 
accurately.

The “too long” problem is due to the adapter. That’s why I mounted a 
micro-4/3rds mount directly onto the bellows, rather than using an adapter.

But it seems to me that a 50/3.5 should NOT be “too long” with an adapter to do 
slide/film scanning
