That last macro in particular looks breathtaking
detail and so much colour, like the flower petals are enveloping the viewer.
I came across a Novoflex set, with macro bellows, and a PIGRIFF-B with 40cm and 60cm Novoflexar lenses
relatively cheap as well.
I'll still have to hunt for a Pentax adapter for the PIGRIFF, but at least I can use the bellows already. They're for Minolta, but I have an adapter, and they even included an M42-Minolta ring and a Schneider-Kreuznach Componar 50mm F/4.5
I've only done a single test shot of a Lego minifigure so far, but the magnification looks impressive already, even with such a simple lens.
And that Novoflexar....when I turned a ring and saw those 24 (25? difficult to count
) aperture blades close, my heart skipped a beat. It's yet another gorgeous piece of old craftsmanship.
