Dylan, thats one hellacious lens!!
The Lens was used in the space surveillance program in 1980's

I'm wondering if B&H stocks an adapter that would fit this lens to my D70 <:)

That's quite a piece of glass. I think it's like a WD-58 adapter...currently for a telescope. I may have found a bit of the back-story for this honker (http://home.intekom.com/franlet/astronomyPAGE68.htm), or at least for one just like it. It seems that its original application was an x-ray machine.

I'm trying to find an adapter for my Canon S100 digital Elph.

I was looking for the faster version. It's a little slow for me at f/.75

It would make a snazzy pizza dish instead!
