Umm methinks you trust me too much. I only unscrewed those two metal bits when I realised the bellows was stuck and I was desperately trying to unscrew anything and everything in order to get the thing to get off my camera.
While playing with the bellows I only used the screws on the sides rails to achieve focus.
Looks like I'm going to need both a m42 adapter and the macro extension tube to make this bellows work. Or do m42 macro tubes have one side as the m42 screw, and the other as a pk mount? Do they in fact even come as the latter? *curious*
Well no, but what you CAN do is this: Get a thin P/K extension tube and an M42-to-P/K adapter. Insert the M42 to P/K at the lens end of the extension tube and voila: You now have an M42-to-P/K extension tube!
