Strikes me as a lot of unnecessary work... both in mounting the modified
lens to a bellows and taking >20 exposures at different focus distances.
With an unmodified 35mm lens you can get from 1.7 feet to infinity in
4 exposures with focus at 2, 3, 6 and 12 feet. You can even get
slightly under 1 foot for the closest distance but you'd need at least 1
more exposure and maybe 2. Heck, with focus at 11.1 feet you can get
from 5.6 feet to infinity in 1 shot.
20 exposures? What are they doing. Focusing on a fly on the front
element with the background sharp and at infinity?
