Bellows Macro
After spotting the pollen beetles yesterday, i went back out this morning to see if i could get any closer, these are at 1:1 on the macro lens and full extension on the bellows, handheld lying in the grass, really difficult to see anything and to check focus, and are about as good as i can get in th...

I believe you'll be able to work out maximum magnfication ratio by taking a picture of a ruler. If I'm right, 1:1 magnification would allow you to have 36mm of the ruler in focus if placed horizontally in the image (since the sensor size is 36mm x 24mm).

Cheers David. Holding it is the easy part, focusing through the view finder not so easy. I brace the camera against my head and support the bellows rail. Often end up with just missing the part I'm trying to focus on, by just a tad. Flash helps too of course.

You certainly have developed a fine technique for close up accurate focusing, and yes, Rob's right .....for me I think even the slightest rocking back and fourth, or tiniest bit of QuickShift, to fine tune the focus would have every little critter hopping or buzzing right out of sight!

Thanks all, I usually shoot in manual mode and move the camera , not using auto focus I find this more accurate.

On the Road - Night Time
Hi all... as I mentioned a few weeks back, whilst I've been out touring round the UK/Ireland over the last year or so, I've been putting together various photographic themes based around the places that I've been, and the various things that I have bumped into that have caught my eye along the way. ...

Some flowers
Good evening all. I have been away from the forum for quite a while - a combination of illness and loss of motivation (probably due to the illness). Thankfully I'm slowly on the mend and combined with the onset of spring, have managed to dust the camera and take some shots. Here is a selection fro...

I rather like No. 3 your tulip portrait. The fresh greens and pinks look lovely and the dark background really helps to make it stand out. Glad to see you back! Best wishes Mike

My K1ii test photos.
looks like the site has "shifted" a few of the pictures too :D The site has turned the portrait ones through 90deg. If I click the photo in Firefox I get the bigger size (800x533 pixels ) in another tab with the right orientation. If that's the SMC F 28-80mm it looks as good on FF as it does on A...

My K1ii test photos.
The dandelion IS in focus or the camera would not have taken the photo.:D Electronic focus aids don't work unfortunately. I wish Pentax would finally improve them...... probably take about a week. I've been waiting since I bought an ME-F in 1981 If you don't believe me try moving the camera slow...
