| Is there any specific reason you need to use an Olympus bellows --
| other than the obvious "that's what I got?"

80/4 1:1 Zuiko.  No other lens like it!

| camera -- is pretty difficult to come by.

Right; it's called a T-flange and that's what I hope to locate.

I did think of another way to put a N*kon body on an OM bellows.  In place
of the removable camera mount on the bellows, which is 52 mm in diameter, I
think I can put any camera with a 2-inch telescope eyepiece tube adapter.

| BTW: what the heck is a world-reknown astrophotographer doing with a
| bellows, anyway? :-)

Slide duplication, my secret superpower!  Many astro slides are underexposed
and/or have low contrast.  Duplication peps them up nicely.

Clear skies,
