39mm Enlarger lens to Nikon bayonet

I'm looking for an adapter to mate an enlarger lens with a 39mm (Leica)
mount to a Nikon body bayonet for macro work on a bellows. I can make
one but I'd just as soon not if I can find one. This is not available
as a regular lens to camera adapter since the standard Leica register
distance, 28.8mm is much shorter than the Nikon register distance,
46.5mm. This doesn't matter for enlarger lenses on a bellows. I saw a
reference to something like this in a Rodenstock flyer once but I
haven't been able to locate one.

Maybe Steve Gandy has something?

If you can't find one, could you use TWO adapters--such as a Nikon to M42,
coupled with an M42 to Leica thread?

I have just purchased such an adapter. Nikon made one.....called a L-F
adapter.
You can only get it 2nd hand as it is not made anymore. The one I got is
also
an extender tube.....I can best describe it as a PK13 with 39mm thread at
the front.
I think I have seen one which is just a slim Nikon F to 39mm Leica
thread....
I will use it as you intend to do......using enlarger lenses on a body or on
a bellow.

I recall having one of these adaptors 15-25 years ago when I was doing creative
slide duplicating.

Doing some Googling, I came up with this mention: "The 'EL to F Mount Adaptor',
catalog # 2628, listed for $21.50 in 1977." A similar adaptor allowing reverse
mounting of an EL-Nikkor enlarging lens may also have been available.

My recollection is that for 1-1 magnification, I preferred using a Micro-Nikkor
camera lens over my El-Nikkor of similar focal length. But I don't recall if
that judgment was based solely on the optics.

eBay, old big-city camera stores, or specialty used dealers are probably the
best place to look for one of these adaptors.

Hope that helps. ...pt

I don't know where in the World you are, but you can get just about any
adapter that is physically possible from SRB here in the United
Kingdom; if they don't have it as a stock item, and I'm pretty sure
that they do have what you want, they will make it for you. They have
a web site he http://www.srbfilm.co.uk/ You could get it from them
by mail order.

I've bought various things from them in the past, never had any
problems with them.
