[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824074, member: 53455"] Having fun with the bellows... Aristocratic Montblanc fountain pen and humble Pentel Sign felt-tip pen. The reproduction ratio was approximately 8:1 on this photo, and the necessary depth of field was achieved by tilting the front and back standards of the bellows, as the general photography lens I used has no tilt-shift capabilities. The lens was only stopped down to ƒ/5.6 and its native depth of field would have been a hairline at such close proximity to the subject. This took the best part of a half-hour to set and focus, and only 1/500 second to shoot! :geek: Nikon Z7, Nikkor Z 85mm, ƒ/1.8 S lens.
