Well, while it's a pain to have to go out and buy more bits and pieces to get a decent image, I can adjust for the camera being too close to the reducer by adding an M48 spacer between the reducer and the camera. If the camera were too close to the reducer that'd be a pain.
The way it is at the moment (see photo) is the reducer ends in an M48, on to which I have put an M48 to M42 stepdown, to then attach to the Pentax t-ring (lucky Canon/Nikon users, they get to find t-rings with an M48 thread).
The question now, of course, is how much - 1mm, 25mm or something in between? Is there a way of estimating, or do I just go and buy a series of spacers?
