Post Your Photos Made At Close Distance

Here's a fun one. I put a M42 mount Mamiya 55/1.4 on an extra lens board and shot it on my Pre-Anniversary Speed Graphic. The subject is a little 3D printed cat I made, I had to put the subject on the bed of the camera in order to focus. First shot is F1.4 second is F16.

The f16 looks and feels like you're looking through the top of a hemisphere dome.

Yes it’s definitely different. I was going to do more of this kind of stuff with other 35mm and medium format lenses. But I ended up selling my speed graphic. I’m shooting mainly 35mm now, but I’ll get back to large format one of these days.

All clean, tuned up and ready for this year.

Thanks. I'm not familiar with any IBM vs Microsoft mouse drama they may have had back then.

Steve, I like the idea -- fun! Someone posted a photo of a phone app for 4x5 users a couple of years ago, showing a Western Electric house phone sitting on thr front extension bed of a wooden view camera.
