The lenses of the toycameras and old folders are great, but sometimes I miss the 6x7 format (You see, I prefer to print the entire negative). I got my hands on an old ADOX folder and removed the lens from it. I drilled a hole in a Pentax 6x7 body cap and mounted the lens. I tried it on the Pentax body together with a extension tube #1. To my delight, this was the perfect extension for this lens, the distances on the lens were in agreement with what I saw in the viewfinder.
Enclosed is a picture of the lens itself and an example of how it performs.
Total cost around US$ 20 and half an hour of work...
