do you think the tulip is distracting??

[golunvolo]

So delicate. The quality is fantastic too.

do you think the tulip is distracting??

Obviously not.

Did you ever have the AM-ED 210mm? If so, how can I mount it?

[David H. Hartman]

For me the tulip is an essential part of the composition.

I would see it as a color composition rather than a closeup of flowers, and I think it nice!

[Jack Dahlgren]

I like it too and I usually pay little attention to flower photos. I am a twig man.

[Mongo]

The lighting, texture, detail and colour are just exquisite in this. Framing is a matter of taste

[MFloyd]

Very nice.  Have you tried a somewhat brighter variant ? For me it's just seems to just lack some brillance, but I can be wrong, and this might be the right approach.

I have the 120mm.. i used a lens board with the a Horseman 4x5 modified with nikon F-mount bellows.

[Frank Fremerey]

I need to look into the cambo actus. The sinars are not very transportable.

[Ron Scubadiver]

Technically and aesthetically marvelous.

Michael, Mongo has two of these lenses and has one constantly mounted on some simple bellows. You could get very fancy or if you are handy, you could do some simple modifications and mount it on a Nikon or simple after market bellows (as in the attached images). Then, just bayonet mount the whole rig from the back of the bellows straight onto the nikon body.

cheers.

Thanks Mongo. I am working on something similar for the AM-ED 210mm lense. How long a bellows between your camera and the lens do you use? What type of shot are you shooting with this? I will show what I am doing as soon as a part arrives. I am looking to use the Novoflex BALPRO with a Copal #1 lens board.
