Here it is:

1. Reverse the lens standard on the sliding rail.
2. Mount the lens between this standard and the compendium (the real
bellows part)

You will have to remove the large plastic screw at the end of the rail
first. Then you can unscrew the compendium from the standard and
reverse the latter.
You should mount the lens to the standard in the normal way, and
attach the compendium to the filter ring (49mm only!) of the lens in
the same way it was connected to the standard earlier.

Hope this helps,
