    My 'new' UberMacro rig (Caution: Nikon Porn!!!!!)



    My (lightly-used!) PB-6 just came in the mail today! I'm super pumped now!

    With a 28mm Nikkor reversed on the front end, I'm ready to take my macrophotography to the next level!
    Go forth and actuate!

    Thats kinda freaky. I have the same tripod, head and focusing rail. Now, if I only had that SWEEEET belows rail, I would be happy.

    Yea, but the mag ratio isn't as much as the 28 reversed.

    Nice!!*

    Out of interest what happens to the magnification if you reverse the lens as opposed to mounting it normally to the bellows? I'm assuming the reversing increases the magnification, but by what factor are you gaining over mounting it straight to the bellows as normal?
