Hello: an impressive image!!. Out of curiosity: how does the Nikon Coolscan 800 behave vs the Nikon Rayfact 95mm f2.8? Could you show the setup to make the Rayfact telecentric? The best Ramon, I prefer the coolscan 800 for 1X and the Rayfact for 2X in telecentric mode. Here is my setup for the shot...

I just tested the lens at 1X with Olympus OMD M5 inhi res mode. The lens can clearly resolve El 7, Gr 3 or 161 lp/mm or 3.1 microns. I think that is the limit of this sensor.

Hi Lou: As I showed in http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38761&highlight=telecentric My configuration was: "The diaphragm is about 40 mm from the back of the metal barrel of the lens. The diameter of the diaphragm is approximately 9 mm" I have made some measurements comparing th...

Agree with John, would like to see your setup. Mike and John, Here is another picture of the lens and extension tubes when they fit together: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/1872_P4280056_2.jpg Here are some pictures of my setup for the flower shots.

one suggestion, not sure if you know this, you can try www.easyzoom.com

Thanks for the hint. Will try next time.

Excellent, congratulations! That's encouraging. So you had no stitching problems, right? Did you need to start each stack in the same plane? Or is the Inspec.x lens telecentric? I suppose the latter, as a machine vision lens. Lou, It worked on the first try, I just specify near-far points for stack...

This is my first try using rear rise/shift for a 2X3 stitch image.

Mike, there are cheap Fotodiox shift adapters from Nikon mounts to MFT mounts. No need for tilts. Also, the good Nikon bellows have shifts in one direction (and tilts). For scanning a large aerial image it needs to be used backwards (shifting camera rather than lens), as I discussed in the thread. ...

I have been using this flash and found it very useful in macro photography. It has three adjustable heads.

They are on sale now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PRICE-CUT-Coki ... SwaM1bb0OY

Nice. I like the background. Great lens.

Thanks for taking the time to post these valuable info. I have both lenses but never had time to do what you did. Again, thanks.
