Proxar is indeed a nice sounding word and would make a good generic
name for CU lens, better than Kleenex for facial tissues...
Hi Andre, I am sorry for the confusion but here in Czech republic,
being so close to both East and West Zeiss, the usual name for
close-up lenses in Proxar among old tim
Hi, if I recall correctly, the proxars made for 645 and 67 lenses were
2-element at least.
From Pentax, yes but not the "Proxar" brand by Zeiss (Hasselblad and
others), these are one single-element, a source of dissatisfaction
for Hassy users who rely on Nikon and others.

I used a rear lens cap, cut the center out of it and epoxied a filter
ring (a step-up or step-down ring would work) to it. I have no
intention of using a filter, instead I attach a ring light to the
reversed lens.
That's what I figured I would end up doing - only was more leaning on
the side of w
Actually, in my experience even the cheap close-up lenses work okay, "IF" you
stop the lens down to f16 or so.

I used the Nikon Close-up lenses for quite some time. They really do give

Gaffer-tape the filter to the "camera end" of a short extension tube? :-)

Find yourself a set of extension tubes. Those will solve your problem
inexpensively and allow some great close up and macro shots, plus allow
you to use filters and lens hoods.

Hi, Rebekah,
The device to which you refer is a "reversing ring". They work great!
