Mounting 120mm Imagon on Nikon F and Pentacon 6

[noeru]

Hello all,
I recently scored a bargain 120mm Imagon that came with a Nikon F mount, a previous mod no doubt, but of course that doesn't allow for focusing. I happened to have some cheapo Chinese made bellows which work a treat but they're incredibly cumbersome (and I'm never going to use that much extension!) not to mention unsightly. I was wondering if anyone with more experience could offer an alternative solution, like a combination of inexpensive helicoids and mount converters? I also have a Pentax ME Super.

It also covers 6x6 really nicely but I have even less options for My Pentacon 6 - I think it will have to be bellows again and a custom carved body cap to hold the lens!

Any help appreciated!
Leo

There have been focusing helical on the bay in the past. That and a short extension tube might work for you.If you try
this you may want to have the extension just a bit short ant infinity so it's sure to hit the fl for you.
Of course, if you're paying for the work, if has to be done right.
