Greg,
I got LSM parts here: http://www.dagcamera.com/index.html
Can you, or, will you try lens and bellows on digital equipment? BTW
does anyone use bellows/macro rig on Canon or Nikon D's?

Alan, I have used a 25-30 year old Novoflex automatic bellows with
105mm lens on my D70. Worked just fine. Had to be manual or
aperture priority, of course. Someone else mentioned the railings
protruding in the front as being a problem if you are working very
close and that is true. I prefer macro lenses because of that. The
act of mounting a shorter lens on the bellows for extreme macro work
is rewarding sometimes.

Alan I accept all sources for parts although usually anyone who uses the word 'Leica' anywhere on their web site is not a source I use. If you find it though, please let me know.
By the way, I took a test shot using my new lens. If anyone's interested, the test shot can be seen here http://home.golden.net/~fraserg/equipment/industar50.html. As the page text indicates, this was a quick test and more of a snapshot than a real evaluation still I was kind of impressed. I hadn't even cleaned the finger prints of the lens element before taking the shot.

Greg,
Do you want to let us know the URL for this company? :-> I
found a guy
that sells Leica mount parts if that is what you need. I'll
have to dig
it out if you need it.
