Jostein,
I didn't see these pictures till today. Great work.
Can't imagine how you did this though.
Cheers,
Gautam

Hi gang,
Today I finally got around to play with real snow in front of my
macro
setup.
After sifting through the results, this is what's left:

I've tried two optical combinations today. The M-28/2.8 reversed on
bellows is quite nice, but it's a real PITA to work with bellows
and
manual apertures. Especially with thick gloves on. The upside is
that
the bellows allow varying magnification.
The other combination, A*200/4 with a FA50/1.4 reversed is still my
preferred combo. However, I do stop the reversed lens down from 1.4
to
2.0. According to the books, the reversed lens should be used wide
open, but I find that stopping the FA down to 2.0 improves
constrast a
lot.
Enjoy,
Jostein
