Shorten extension behind DCR-150 but keep same mag?

[Beatsy]

Is it possible?

Using DCR-150 as tube lens for Mitties is working well for me now, but the total length from camera to objective is troublesome in the space I have. I wondered if it's possible to add a lens of some sort to reduce the distance from DCR-150 to sensor but preserve FoV, magnification and image quality. I'm not hopeful there will be, but it's always worth asking here. Thanks.

The only way I can think of is to cut down spacing between objective and Raynox.

DCR250 and a 1.6x TC? You probably won't keep any of those things you want to preserve though .

Chris,

Clever idea

I know the Nikon 1.4 and 1.7 Teleconverters are pretty good optically, especially the new TC1.4. I've used both on the PN105 to "keep" it at the optimum ~1X range but give 1.4X & ~1.7X.

Worth a try?

Best,
