Thinking - if it's necessary to remove a short length, a "pipe slice" would do a neat job. They have sharp wheels which cut through aluminium - which I imagine is used for this lens - quite easily. I wouldn't suggest using such a tool on a lens without some experience on other tubes, though - get the pro to do it for you!the larger rear (?) element is much more recessed (about 9 mm) and probably the barrel would need to be machined

Now we will have to wait for the next batch of JML lenses to come up on eBay...
Thank you very much, Enrico. I will pay close attention to your news of other objectives of this brand. I've only been tested once this objective but I really like the result. I am very surprised at the depth of field that has this lens. I compare it with a microscope objective with which I get the same magnification, more or less, and with it I need far fewer images to get a well-stacked image. Even for photo documentation I can take a single image. Very interesting. As I said before, I'll be very attentive to expand my collection of these objectives.

Consider the f/4.5 aperture of the JML as opposed to the 'wider' aperture of a microscope objective which, using one example, has an NA (numerical aperture) of 0.25
