Is a Nikon lens considered "alt" when it's attached to a Fuji XP1?






105mm @ f/11

Thanks Contas. I received my Apo-Makro-Planar now, here are some shots taken with NEX-5N wide open. More in NEX images thread.

Bif, what is Nikon 4P 0.1

Wow Bif, that's real alt, maybe it's a new way to do research bugs and vegetables.Very nice. Sometime I already thought about do a X-ray flower on my 5D2 though.

Congrats Brian, as said this Apo-Makro-Planar must be proved is one of the sophisticated ever made lenses by mankind.AAALLLLLL there and it pushes the camera sensor to the edges.

Hehe, I didn't think of it on my own tho. Here's a site where just about everyone posting has at least tried this - I'll just start you off with Chris's Bratcam thread: http://photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8247

Typically photomacrography done with microscope objectives is stacked to compensate for the extremely shallow DOF - with the absolute best stacker app being coded by the Admin of that very same site. If ya don't stack then like I did, ya hafta shoot flat-ish subjects - or compose for uber-shallow DOF.

You can see how shallow it is from these I guess (and this 4x planar is actually quite deep for a microscope objective):




Full frame scaled







And another 100% crop

Thanks Bif, that link very helpfull, it seems like microscopic alt, which is very close to my works, so I consider it for sometime in advance.

Sure, NP.

Your works? Sounds interesting. What do you do?

Just to mention tho, you don't really need to set up all those focus blocks like on the bratcam. All that's needed to start with is an RMS adapter, whatever M42 adapter fits your camera, and of course an objective. The higher power the objective the more you'll wish you had something like Chris's rig tho - so keep it at 10x and under. At 2x to 10x a smooth-ish set of macro-rails will do for most stuff. And to make that particular one more smooth I'd wanna affix something to the drive knob to increase the radius to around 3 or 4 inches - maybe melt/glue on an old lens cap or something.
