Freelensing with Minolta and Olympus Lenses

Although there are both optical and macro lens mount adapters available to mount Olympus and Minolta lenses to Nikon bodies, they all add about 10mm of extension to the optical path. Great for extreme closeups in the case of the macro-type adapter, but for wider shots you need to get closer. Freelensing is an easy and inexpensive way to achieve that, and offers some creative effects as well.
