Two great images…  I have a very slight preference for the second one.

Hi, Bob:

I like them all with preference to the first one because of its simplicity and what it signifies (beginning, anticipation, hope...)

I am just starting to play with my macro lens and focus stacking - I can see I have much, much to learn.

By the way in the first one you listed the Rodenstock lens.  Is it a LF lens adapted for Nikon? 


:Niranjan.

Both the Rodenstock and Nikkor-AM have image circles supporting a 4x5 view camera. I use a Cambo Actus XL35 view camera with a Nikon D850 and in addition I have added a Cognisys stepper motor and controller, for macro it has been a lot of fun stuck at home under quarantine.

I'll say.  That's some serious gear you have.  I didn't know you could get a view camera to attach a DSLR in the back.  Thanks for sharing the fruits of your quarantine work.
