Wouldn't it be more flexible to get the bellows, perhaps with the 135 macro?

Where are you?

What is the timescale for this job?

I would use my Sinar P3/2 and set of Zeiss Luminar macro lenses... as I have 3 Sinars I have plenty of extension for macro.

Ok thanks to all for the responses, I have another question, I have the posibility to buy a Imacon Ixpress digital back, the thing is that the back is mounted for a Mamiya 645 AFD, but I do not have that camera, I have the Hasselblad and a Mamiya RZ ProII.
Did you know if there is any way to change the adapter to use in Hasseblad or RZ 67?

Thanks

I am in the UK, so I cannot drop round one day and let you use my kit.

I photographed a ring with a Macro-Planar 120, and the result was not good.

With a lens shutter, reversing the lens is not an simple option, but you can reverse a standard or wide angle and mount it on the front of a tele.

I am thinking of putting together a setup for macro, including a computer-controlled linear actuator for focusing for DOF merge.

Yes there is. One of the strengths of the Ixpress system was (is) the ability to use different adaptor plates for different cameras.

... you can reverse a standard or wide angle and mount it on the front of a tele.

If you use two lenses that have the same filter thread size, you can simply attach them with electrician's tape ( Don't tell the dealers I told you ). A Hasselblad bayonet reversing ring would be expensive, but I expect they are available.

It was a long time ago, but I might have been using this technique when I got unsatisfactory results - try it.
