Having seen how good the Q is at telephoto, I thought I would try the opposite, so I made a converter to fit a cheap set of bellows from a Q>D adapter, basically a thick washer, I used an old Takumar 55mm f2 for the lens

The reason I used a Q>D Type adapter is you can make the Q lens mount to M42mm lens mount distance below the 36.26mm (45.46mm - 9,2mm) with the bellows closed which means any 42mm lens will focus on infinity.

It's Winter here, but a few Lobelia flowers are still hanging on manfully

a few pics

The flower is 13mm across

Closer

Pop the flash up and back off a little

These are full frame, just re-sized for posting.

Even better than the telescope shots IMO.

I might find myself wanting a Q sometime
