A test of my new macro rig - old manual Revuenon 135 f/2.8 screwed to an old russian macro bellows. The bellows extends to 290mm, which allows for a magnification a bit above 2:1.The nut in the photo has a diameter of about 8mm; the photo was not cropped in any way.
As you can see, this rig gives not-so-bad sharpness and good contrast. The whole thing is quite comfortable to use on a tripod; the only problem is, you lose a lot (A LOT) of light on high magnification, and you basically HAVE to work on a closed diaphragm, which puts a lot of strain on your eyes. Live View to the rescue...
Lighted with a single SB-24, inside an improvised diy lightbox (how it's made).
Just playing around with the stuffed animal toys: these tiger dolls are for the Chinese New Year.
Technical information:
Lens: Jupiter-3 50mm f/1.5
plus Rolleinar 1 closeup lens
Note: one of limitation of Jupiter-3 is its rather long minimal focusing distance (1m), so the Rolleinar 1 closeup lens is a great help. And at f/4 this combination yields excellent quality.
