I was shooting my first hepaticas of the season and got a little passenger too. Five image stack, Canon 6DmkII + Sigma 135 with 20mm extension. Not perfect but came out as a decent print.

Thanks Lou! Yes, Sigma 135/1.8 is an impressive piece of glass. I wonder the amount of adapter rings needed to get down to Mitu threads from 82mm though..or RMS threads even. I have just started my journey with microscope lenses, only have 4x AmScope and Lomo 3,7. Eventually this disease will lead into Mitu's and tube lenses for sure...

Lou,
Do you see any vignetting with a full frame sensor with the Sigma 135 as a tube with the Mitty 5X and 10X?
Best,

Mike, I will have to check that. I don't have a full-frame sensor but I can shift my MFT sensor out to that distance diagonally and see if it vignettes.
Rane, the adaptors are easy. One 82-77 step down and one Kood 77-52mm step-down, which threads to any of my 52mm-objective thread step-down filters. The real problem with that lens is that it is heavy and lacks a tripod collar. I have sometimes mounted a tripod collar in the infinity space between objective and lens...in vertical set-ups that is not too bad.
The other problem with it is it's lack of a manual aperture ring or lever in the mount, unlike Sigma's earlier Art lenses for Nikon which at least had the stop-down lever. This isn't fatal since we normally don't stop down a tube lens.
It is my best tube lens. Really good.
Lou

Lou,
I thought the Rokinon/Samyang 135mm would be a great tube because it was superbly sharp everywhere in the full frame (almost as good as the new Sigma Art), as I and later Steve found out, not so 
Best,
