At http://kurt-loeper-fototechnik.de/demoware.htm is an "Olympus universal
bellows" for sale (many other items on that site too).
There is a claim (in German) that the Zuiko macro-heads could be used on
Hasselblad camera's, and that their imagecircle is big enough for 6x6....
Any knowledge on the list about the truth of that claim?
Frank.
