Thanks, Ann, but I'm so happy that (a) I've had an idea and (B) found an object to realise it and (c) a good title that I didn't want to give up yet.
Still, there was a technical prob: I could get a half decent photo using my SMC-M 4/20 mm and a 12 mm extension ring on the K-3.
BUT... the DOF was minimal because the K-3 wouldn't stop down the lens with the extension ring mounted. It did so with the lens only. The ring has the lever to transfer the stop-down command from the camera to the lens but the camera didn't want to move it. Could this be because the extension ring doesn't have any contacts? Then again, the SMC-M lenses don't either and there the stop down mechanism works, albeit only without the extension ring.
Eventually, I had a look at the rear of the ring. Beautiful black enamel on the surface that touches the camera's contacts. Could it be...? Out with the dremel and away with the enamel...
Ha! It works now. :-) Ralf -- Ralf R.
