Here is something different from my previous setups: a bellows with integral macrophotography stand. I mounted a Rodenstock
35mm f/4 Eurygon lens to it and snapped a photo at 5:1 magnification of the date on the 1921 Dollar I've used for my previous
setups. This is an excellent lens at around 5:1 and gives a nice clear image. Lighting was with a single LED light.
Note that this setup won't do "low" magnification. It is for magnifications from around 2x to 5x, so is mostly useful for taking high
resolution images of varieties, details, etc.
The bellows is a little worn and has a small tape repair but is otherwise in good shape and works smoothly. It is native Nikon F
mount so if you have a Canon or other camera you'll need an adapter to fit a Nikon lens to your camera.
For more flexibility, the macrophotographic stand is removable, allowing you to mount the bellows to your copy stand or tripod.
I'm asking $175 for the setup, plus $16 Priority Mail Flat Rate Box shipping in the US. Payment by PayPal or Postal MO.
