Playing around with my old bellows this morning for some close macros. Amazing how much you forget if you don't use it. It will take me some time to get back into how to properly use it again. Here is my 1st shot. The back of the Nevada State quarter.
Bydand- What a close up...excellent! What were you shooting with?
Elina- I love the orchid picture. Gorgeous!
I'm loving the macros. Can't wait until I get my macro lens.
I shot with my Sony a-200 using an OLD Kalt double rail bellows. Used an adapter for M42 screw mount to Sony Alpha mount, then used an old Rikenon 50mm f:1.7 lens on the front of it. Tried to use an old Vivitar 24mm f:2.8. While getting VERY close and filling the frame with just the edge of the coin, it actually had to be touching the front element of the lens to focus. I'll have to play around with it some more. It has been decades since I used the bellows, so it is going to take a few to get used to it again
