Well not really. Every once in a while I have the urge to try something different.
I mated a Canon T2i with a Wollensak Vinco Astigmat f/6.8 lens and a Regno shutter/iris assembly resulting in an f stop of 6.8 to 64. Between the camera and lens there is a Aetna Rokunar zoom telephoto housing (Nikon mount) that was gutted of all glass leaving nothing but the shell. A Fotodiox Nikon lens to Canon EOS lens adapter with focus confirmation chip coupled the Aetna to the T2i. The Wollensak lens is coupled to the front of the Aetna body with a 2" rubber pipe coupling and band clamps. Here is a link to the Adobe website where I have some of the first photos taken. The photos of the setup were taken with a Rebel XT. The very light vertical streaks in some of the photos are rain drops.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Update Aug 26. I've added 5 B&W photos taken at f/16. No cropping or editing other than a slight increase in contrast & saturation using Capture NX2. The B&W was in-camera.
