Coincidentally, I've just added this to my website but not yet uploaded it:-

Lens coupling ring. This has the appearance of two 49mm filter mounts glued
together and enables two lenses to be joined together nose to nose.
Optimally these should be a 135mm telephoto lens and a 50mm standard lens,
where the 135 is fitted to the camera body and the 50 serves as a high
quality supplementary lens to it. This combination performs as a low-power
microscope and has the advantage that the auto diaphragm of the 135 can
still be used. The diaphragm of the 50 is left fully open. Take care that
the rear element of the 50 is not scratched by its close proximity to other
objects.
