How can I convert Fotoman 624 Pan Camera for makro use.

Hello everyone. Thank you for the information. Yes, certainly an experimental approach and yes may be pushing boundaries of Fotoman camera - and interested in what has been posted. Lots of food for thought. First of all terrariums hold plants. Have been photographing these with Hasselblad CM500 and extension tube. End results while not optically great suit purpose as photos look really interesting with splashes of light, narrow depth of field, subtle tones, and printed on rag paper have a rich painterly feel - been exhibited in two solo shows:http://www.darrondavies.com/terraria.html. So, keen to see if I can get into similar territory with Fotoman - much larger images. Maybe custom rail, diopter sounds also interesting option. But aware may be pushing it optically - but generally that's what I did with the Hasselblad and results, after printing and framing, have looked really interesting. Cheers.

Yep not too far - perhaps catch up - direct contact details (webpage) in last post

Let me know when you're next heading to Melb and see if we can catch up. I'll show you a couple of options.

I feel somehow sad for Dan and the rest of us, for that matter, that we won't see the secret couple of options.

Bit like in "A few good men": You can't handle the options"...

Still a lot of ideas here - thinking them through - and will post any finished results / decisions to forum.
