Welcome to the crazy gang mate,
good to hear we have another refractor nut in the house. I love my two refractors and if I had my way, the money and the space I'd have nice big 250mm piece of Apo glass hanging on the end of a bazzuka tube if I could
As for the SLR, just source an adaptor ring, and shoot directly. I use both my refractors still my old faithful SLR's
