I've posted this in the flowers thread too. Its not 1:1, but definitely in that direction.

Hey Drew,

I have sent you numerous PM's and email concerning your bill for shipment for the LF Exchange. Would you please pay your bill!! PM me if you need yet another bill sent.

Thank you,
Darr

Great bokeh Ken.

LF macro can be an aching endeavor whose results often help one forget the pain.

This was one of those back-breaking, time-consuming set-ups.

(And perhaps a winning argument for a UV protection filter? )

Another one of that time consuming endeavours. And this one supposes to be flat! Enlarger lens (probably 150 mm), Linhof Cardan on Velvia (half darkslide method of creating two panoramic images on one sheet of 5x4 film).

Cheers,
Marko

Great bokeh Ken.

Thanks.

Even though Tessars and Heliars open to f/4.5, the aberrations lessen quite a bit once you get down to f/8 or smaller. Having a round aperture helps too of course: vintage barrel lenses are great. Too bad the modern manufacturers don't provide lenses with circular apertures.
