Went home and grabbed my camera and got these shots. A 1/2 life size shot with the 100 APO so you can see the scale: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/ff12/untitled-5731_001.jpg.html The slapped on the Nikon PB-6 bellows with a Schneider 50mm 2.8 Componon-S enlarging lens attached and racked it out as far as it would go to get this: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/ff12/untitled-5735-Edit.jpg.html A most unusual flower. A Euphorbia called Rattlesnake Weed. Surprised the image was not as sharp as I had hoped for. Just got this bellows and never used this lens this way before. Took three frames and blended for increased DOF. Might have to look around for another solution for a lens. Comments welcome.
