why don't these get any loving on /p/?
Because AF macro lenses kinda obsoleted them for everything that doesn't require more than 1:1 magnification.
>>128022bay area faggets who think shops are the second coming, that about sums it up.
>>128023but, these are like 40$
>>128025You can get them for even cheaper if it's M42 or some obsolete mount. Still, weight and convenience of a macro lens win if you're not a poor college student who just wants to play with macro photography a bit.
i wish i could get my hands on an F-mount macro bellows for forty bucks. seriously, where are you getting that number from? they cost 200 bucks used where i see them, 900 bucks new.
i got a new nikon F model model II, pretty damn old, but it was in the box sealed with instructions and everything for only $50. i put an extension tube on it so i could slap a digital on there easier.
>>128030I've seen F-mount bellows with acessories for about $150 and thought it was ridiculous, now turns out it was cheap...Anyway, since close focus only is the point of bellows, you can get an adapter, M42 bellows and profit.
>>128030I got my mint PB-6 from the back room of a local camera store, I haggled them down to $55.Macro bellows are fantastic if you want EXTREM MAGNIFICATION.
