5:1 macro, but it's a total pain to focus.

I got myself a new artificial toner. So I artificially toned that setup for you...
Cool. Your toner can't decide whether the ladder is wooden or aluminum.
In case anyone thought this was actually mine, it's not, rather a picture from the 70s. No idea what was being shot. Need tons of light and a longish exposure with that kind of extension. That stand has to be anchored in the bedrock to stay still enough.

Very cool. All you need is a handful of corroded pocket change and you're in business!
Bellows work quite well actually but that is ridiculous.
I thought that is what the CPG uses on some of the DDOs.
Then I can use my phone to take pictures of the ground glass focusing screen and post those. I'll be sure they're all rotated 90 degrees from what you'd want to see, too.

Indecision makes it look more real
Is that John Fogerty taking the picture???

I don’t care how much you magnify it; it’s still PMD and worth face value.
Is that the current PCGS setup?
Alright, let's see the results!
