2007.06.20: Adapted Lenses for Macro

My M42 to Nikon F-mount adapter arrived a few days ago. Remembering that I had a few Carl Zeiss Jena lenses around the studio with M42 mounts and the Nikon PB-4 perspective control bellows I figured I'd mess around a little while waiting for some printing to finish.

A close-up photograph of my watch through the Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC Sonnar 135/3.5 mounted on the D200 with the PC Nikkor Bellows. Using the lens at this distance is obviously not optimal for what is otherwise an excellent telephoto lens. ISO 100, 10second exposure.

Similar setup but with the Rodenstock Rodagon 50/2.8 enlarging lens. This lens has fungus growing on front and rear elements. Furthermore, I had to hand hold this lens in front of the bellows as my 39mm to 42mm adapter ring hasn't arrived yet.

A look at the setup. Light used was the fluorescent-converted fresnel spot lamp set to its most focused setting.
