Field setup

This shows the Olympus OM Telescopic tube, 65-116mm and the Schneider Kreutznach Apo-Componon 45mm f1:4 which is used in reversed position via a reverse adapter. The telescopic tube is a great tool because it allows you to rotate the camera. These are the kind of tools that have prooved to deliver outstanding results in the hands of swedish master photographer John Hallmén, so any shortcomings in my pictures sadly are on me.

This combo gives a magnification range from 2,2:1 to 3,2:1.

The lens performs best at f1:4,7 and actually from 1:1 to 2:1, but if you want to use this magnification range you must use macro extension tubes. I use the old OM 7-14-25mm set from Olympus, and they fill the gap perfectly.
