Q and bellows - Warning insect images

A few months ago I made a bellows attachment for my Q using a small bellows bought off eBay and a Takumar 50mm lens. The camera mount is a D - Q adapter, the whole kit only cost around £50.

I've taken the usual flower shots with the bellows less than halfway extended.

Then I found a dead bluebottle on our windowsill and took these.

Pretty impressive for a camera that cost me £99.00.

Are you using focus stacking? There is a repetition of what looks like sensors muck and a few outer frames.

Hi Ken

The first bluebottle shot was a stack of just two, could have done with 3, the last one is not stacked.

Very impressive for £150!! I must look into buying some bellows.

Correction Ken, the last one is a stack of 5 and it's from my Pentax K-01 on a conventional BPM bellows, same lens, many apologies.

The more I see of what people are doing with the Q, the more I'm tempted to get one...nice looking set up, and nice pics.

Can I add a few more......
