The BOOWU-M arrived about 10 minutes ago, so after a brief moment of confusion until I realised I had to remove the lens head from the 50mm, I took a first snap. This is with the A4 attachment, shot in window light at f8, aperture priority. The full frame with no post production. The book is larger than A4 which is why it’s skewed. It was very quickly done - very old-skool but quick and effective.
