I could get an M42 to F mount adapter for $15. I have some old screw mount lenses that I could use on my Z5. I also have a reversing ring and some extension tubes as well. I could rig up a neat little macro setup. Or, I could just borrow my daughter's 105 F2.8 micro. For what it's worth, I would be looking for an older manual manual Nikon lens. Something with a mechanical aperture ring. These should be available quite inexpensively. A set of extension tubes is very inexpensive, and you could add a reversing ring to the setup in order to get extreme closeups. For vacuum tubes, I think the 50mm and a set of three extension tubes should do the job nicely. A modern macro lens made by or for the Nikon would be simpler, and likely better image quality, but would be a good bit more expensive.</blockquote>
