JJC Film Digitizing Adapter // Pls confirm 10...10.5 cm working distance (for the Laowa 65/2.8)

No experience here in the forum, so I wrote to JJC directly about my question and got a very friendly and detailed response. They really tried the adapter with a Fujifilm camera and the Laowa 65/2.8 lens and even sent me a photo of their setup. What a great customer experience.

I immediately ordered the adapter and now confirm: it is possible to scan 24 mm x 36 mm negatives and slides with the JJC Film Digitizing Adapter Set FDA-K1 in full, i.e., without cropping, with the Laowa 65/2.8. The adapter barrel is easily long enough and can be made even much longer. I only use one of the two #2 rings of the adapter set. There is no filter thread adapter needed (52 mm is also the adapter thread). My working distance (film to front lens) is about 10.5 cm.

For illumination, I use the JJC Light Set FDA-LED1. That one I had before knowing about the adapter.

The whole setup is about 29 cm long. The photos show my X-T20 with the complete digitizing equipment. Of course this setup is to be handled with care in order not to apply too much force to the lens - the simplest way is to put it on a table. No tripod needed. I use ES to avoid shutter shock.

I've done a few tests so far and will report once I have more experience. Lots to do I believe with this adapter, I will be quicker, more efficient, in digitizing my negatives and slides, I do not expect hassle with positioning.
