Until we get past macro, into real close up photography. One of my PUG subjects was an American dime, shot on the 6x7, with a reversed M series 50mm camera lens mounted to the 6x7 bellows. It had to be at least an 8x magnification on the film, and I bet it was more than that. http://pug.komkon.org/02mar/dime.html is pretty close to being a full frame representation of the negative. The gallery image doesn't do justice to the amount of detail I captured.] William Robb
