I'm quite confused. I have a 14" Red Dot Artar in a barrel and recently purchas ed a 19" Red Dot Artar in a barrel. I have a Calumet C-1/C-3 that I thought had a 30" bellows draw, but the camera only allowed the bellows to draw at 22-23".
Anyway, when using the 14" lens, I wasn't able to get as close to my subject (I do still life photography), so I purchased the 19" thinking that I could get in closer. But I noticed that I can't get any closer to my subjects and focus well . Why? Am I totally confused about lens optics? I thought the longer lens wou ld allow me to get closer. I'm disappointed.
Any suggestions? Do I have to go to a 500 - 600mm lens?
Thanks for any help.
Ron
