As per above it's for a bellows hood so in this case for what I'm doing vignetting is not an issue

It's to connect to a bellows hood so for the application I'm using it for Vignetting is not an issue

I recently ordered a step-down adaptor from amazon to allow me to connect a 58mm filter thread lens to a 52mm attachment. So 58mm male thread and 52mm female. When it arrived I have what I would call a step up adaptor - i.e. to allow a 58mm filter to be used on a 52mm filter thread lens...

Thanks - have had a look at that - when I remove the roll film holder it matches my set up - I'll see if it has what I need

OK thx - I'll try again :) - it's the exposure that really has me puzzled I assumed that the camera would meter ttl when taking the exposure so should be in the right ball park - but as I say it's over exposing by two or 3 stops.

Can we see some of the shots you are unhappy with - I would have thought that they may just be very poor quality lens of ebay. The lens you have is capable of .34 lifesize I would have thought that's sufficient to get a lot of detail in a watch strap. Have you tried without the +4 lens and...
