I'll let you know when I get my hands on them, maybe next week. And yes, they are thread mount. As I remember, exposure has to be increased when using them and there may be a formula according to how much the magnification is, or in-camera metering alone may address it.Dean Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517101319415981439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-61799843457068077332010-03-17T13:01:14.014-07:002010-03-17T13:01:14.014-07:00Dean - I've been looking for a set of bellows ...Dean - I've been looking for a set of bellows for a long time - let me know next time you're planning to go down to the Inner Harbour and I'll come down and borrow them for a bit. (I'm assuming they are M42 screw-type mounts?)<br /><br />Wayne - I'm glad you find it concise - I always think I am too long-winded!<br /><br />JoJo - I plan to upgrade the camera too eventually but good lenses are the first priority. In practice, every time I get a new lens it's almost like getting a new camera because everything looks so different and I can go around to all my favorite spots and shoot them again.Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-9066295879756200922010-03-16T13:12:55.805-07:002010-03-16T13:12:55.805-07:00Very interesting that you got so many different ki...Very interesting that you got so many different kinds of lenses to achieve better results, rather than upgrade your camera. I never thought of that before.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-77867076951159726652010-03-16T11:58:41.121-07:002010-03-16T11:58:41.121-07:00That's a concise and practical explanation of ...That's a concise and practical explanation of what I think most photographers come to realize as they get more involved with their hobby/career.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763611338613325523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-82256422204697491122010-03-16T10:23:40.727-07:002010-03-16T10:23:40.727-07:00For the old 35mm SLR's, I believe a 80mm lens ...For the old 35mm SLR's, I believe a 80mm lens was considered the closest field of view to what our eye sees, even though the 50mm lens was called 'normal'.<br /><br />My theory is that our eye is more attracted to images that offer a new perspective from what we are accustomed. This means a wide-angle, fish-eye, macro or telephoto will be more appealing, offering a fresherlook at things.<br /><br />Any kind of distortion challenges our sensibilities, which is mentally stimulating.<br /><br />I have a set of bellows that fit my old Pentax for extreme macro if you'd like to try it.Dean Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517101319415981439noreply@blogger.com
