Title: New Series: Lenses for Close-Up and the DSLR: Volume One
Post by: Michael Erlewine on August 05, 2016, 01:48:25

I am working on a series of small books that show what various close-up (ones I use) lenses do at each of the main apertures. This may not be useful to anyone, in which case ignore it. But for those trying to decide where to put their money in lenses, it could be a help. This first booklet includes lenses I have talked about often. Following soon are a whole bunch of enlarger-style barrel lenses, some that are remarkable and cost relatively very little.

It opened fine in my Chrome. Looks like an interesting read, thank you for taking the time to put it together.

Michael, please, it is "Lenses for Close Up", not close-up lenses, that would be diopters...
