Hi, After seeing the good results the JML was giving I joined the party and bout a couple of this lenses, how fustraiting was when I found that all my shots had a beautifull glare in the middle of the frame. Yesterday while testing a wollensak 24mm 3.5 I bought very cheap from surplus shed (this was...

You should have not problem at all, you just need an fd to eos adapter. I had the canon auto bellows but I sold them, the fd mount is the most stupid mount ever

Je, je; not same quality as morfa´s, Rik´s and Jotafoto´s examples but my first attempts with the Nikon E Plan 10x 160/0.25 LWD. Tthis is made out of 39 shots with increments of 0,02 which proved insuficient, 0,01 micrometre increments would have been best. (my micrometre has 0,02 increments but wit...

I understand the concept; but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words . Some diagrams on steb1's flickr gallery. http://www.flickr.com/photos/9578...

I had not seen this post until now, your new version solves the problem I did notice my self in some of my shots; yo can see the same kind of pattern on this spider´s eyes http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4023/4494636172_0088c5dedc.jpg After reading the whole post abot materials and first stage diffus...

After looking for Id I think this wasp is one from the Scoliidae family, I do not know which species

Simply perfect, having done my first stacks I realice of the importance of light and how difficult is obtain this kind of results. Your work keeps improving no matter what
Congratulations!!

I thought of that but does not seem right; lens inscriptions suggest mounting should be normal, rear element has a threaded element and no protection. Workin distance from front elemnt is about 12-14mm; from rear element 3-4mm The whole thing does not make sense; I will try to post some picture tomo...

Hi, few weeks ago I bought this lens from surplus shed, a pretty interesting focal length and quite fast but I am not able of using it, the fron element is about 12mm recesed inside the lens, which must be the working distance so making it completely useles Maybe it s possible to dissasemble, cut it...

Pretty interesting stuff, I´ve been having trouble with the jml too, will try both the lens hood and the rear baffle, some manual focus lens users also add a baffle on the camera mount, with a square hole to minimize reflections from the camera body to the lens By the way, I am interested in how you...

Thank for your answers, in all three shots light comes from a flash on the left difused by a cup difuser. This cup diffuser is inside another diffuser with the left part missing and silver tape on the rigth. the first two shots are done using the pmax method, 3rd shot is Dmap with lots of retouching...

I first red this review in morpha´s flickr site and was a very good read. I happen to have the same summar 120mm but my unit needs some refurbishment; the balck paint on the inside covering the elements is peeling of, so I may get internal reflections. After reding this test I thought of doing a sim...

I also happen to have flare problems with my JML, I also noticed some CA on my 5D but they mighjt be outside of the limits of an APS-C sensor. My flare was brown, I was taking pictures of a wasp´s eye, happened to be brown. Some could still be used but had somewhat low contrast. My problem is mostly...

Hello, At the end I managed to adapt my micrometer to the tripod and bellows and last weekend I did some tests. Among others I tried my milar 65mm, summar 35 and 65mm, JML 21mm and today my nikon E plan 10x 0.25 I also tried an seico/dynamic 19mm I bougth from surplus shed but this had horrible CAs ...
