Hm, sounds possible, though making it all fix in place tightly enough could
be a bit fiddly without glue/etc, and then it's a pain to adjust if I do
find the mount. Still, now I know it can be done, which I didn't before..

Ah, right, that explains it; I wondered what was going on there.
Can someone explain again why it's better to use a macro 20mm lens than
just a normal 20mm lens? (other than that there's no such thing, of course)
I've got some macro shots taken at about 7x magnification I took by using a
28mm lens on bellows, and they look pretty reasonable -- at least enough so
that I can't tell if the lack of image quality is my fault for not focussing
right or the lens..
