I'm interested in trying my hand at getting closer and larger
magnification (i.e. Macro). I want to stay light and as small as
possible. There is a bellows and a retro adapter on eBay I plan on
bidding for, but I'm not sure which to concentrate on.
As far as I know, the bellows is for serious macro work. I'm not
serious, so I'm considering the retro adapter instead. I wanted to know
if anyone has used it, how it works, etc. The only thing I could find
says "With bellows, a 80mm Planar will yield from 1.8x to 3.5x
magnifications." Hmmm.
Ok, I have a 80mm Xenotar - and no bellows. What magnification can I
expect? Will I need a bellows (or focusing rack) to focus, or can I use
the lens (at least within a certain range, moving the tripod into that
range first)? What magnification will other focal lengths give
(150mm...)?
Anyone use this or can explain how it works?
Cheers, Thor
