yes, i will take a photo of it when i get home from my travels. there are a couple of photos shot with this set up in the "post your medium format photos" section of this forum. i think you could search for all my post in there. i usually list the lens used.
as someone else here mentioned you need a lot of room to shorten the back end of the lens to make a 35mm format lens work in this manner. in the case of the canon FD 600mm the rear element is way way inside the barrel. after shortening the back of the lens, i used a #2 pentax 645 macro tube for the lens mount , after stripping the tube of the front end and everything that is inside of it , you are left with an empty tube and lens mount . fairly easy to attach to lens.
