Bellows Question:         My dad wants to get an Olympus bellows for his
OM1n.  He currently has a bunch
: of lenses but no macro lenses, which he wants to save for (wants the
high-mag now!!!!).
: What performance will he get with a reversed 24mm or 28mm Zuiko?  Any
problems working
: this way (i.e. vignetting of the aperture blades?).


The maximum magnification will be about 10x; there's no problem with the
aperture blades - the wonderful Oly bellows supports lenses to be mounted in
reverse and still operated semi-automatic with a double cable release.
Performance will be acceptable when stopped down to F8 but obviously not as
good as the real thing (a 38 or 20mm macro lens). At these magnifications
he'll need the 1-12 focusing screen and a bright light source (preferrably a
microscopic lamp like the LSD) to get the focus right.
