So I was in my darkroom...

...and got a wacky idea!

I realised that my enlarger lenses are LTM and that my FED 5V is LTM, so I decided to see if I could fit an enlarger lens onto my FED. Lo and behold, it worked. The EL-Nikkor 50mm wouldn't fit, but the 75mm did! It looks extremely cool too! I took a couple of shots to see what (if anything) I will get...

So, has anyone else ever tried this? What did you get?

LOL
did you check where it actually focuses? Maybe you get a great macro lens after all, enlarging lenses are optimized for large magnification.

No, unfortunately the FED was already loaded with a roll of APX 100, so I just screwed the lens on and hoped for something interesting

After I finish the roll, I will check the focus without film in the camera.

I predict a negative with the most beautiful bokeh you've ever seen.... in fact, the whole negative will be bokeh!

Hey Walker, you win!!!

At f22 and f16, the image is the most beautiful bokeh you could wish to see

I can just make out the main objects in the negatives at f22. At f4, everything is just blobs!!!
