Now that the glue has set on my modified bellows, I have had the opertunity to test it.
The first thing i noticed was the lens needs setting to infinity to get a sharp subject in the view finder.
Also when the aperture was set above f8 I couldn't see anything (to dark).
While shooting the image below, I lit the area with a torch to help me focus.
This is were the angle finder helps to get the very sharp detail.
I was trying to capture the little hairs from the Echinops globe thistle flower
which are protruding from the spikey flower head.
I didn't notice the visitor when I pressed the button on the remote cable.
Aphid on Echinops
f8 1/250 ISO100
Canon 10D, Pentax K bellows, SMC f2 50mm lens.
Ex 580 with stoffen (manual mode @ full power).
If I'd had seen the Aphid before the shot, i would have composed the shot better.
