kjeld_olesen Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 If interested in macro photography above 5X on Canon EOS (or any other for the matter) consider the Olympus OM 20 mm 2.0 bellows lens. http://www.acapixus.dk/photography/olympus20mm.htm Kjeld Olesen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay_prescott Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Thanks for the interesting article. I have seen the Olympus bellows in the used section of camera stores before, a lovely piece of equipment. But, I am curious, were you able to mount it to your camera without an Eos/Olympus adapter ? If such a thing exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknowles Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Some of the Olympus bellows lenses use a RMA lens mounts and mounts on any bellows with RMA->'brand' lens mount. Check with the camera-lens company. I use the Olympus 38mm bellows lens on the Minolta bellows which uses a RMA-Minolta adaptor for their 12mm and 25mm micro lenses. Someone posted a list of the bellows lenses and lens mounts, and if I find it, I'll post it. It's worthwhile to know what other brand lenses you can use on your bellows. --Scott-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I think it is RMS mount (Royal Screw). Tominon 35mm lens does alright as well and is far cheaper. Here is a link with a list of micro lenses: http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/microlen.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjeld_olesen Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 An EOS-OM adapter exists, but it is rather expensive http://www.cameraquest.com/frames/4saleReos.htm http://www.kindai-inc.co.jp/mount_omeos.htm For now I am using a home made adapter from plastic caps, as described on the webpage. I will experiment on fitting a EOS-Tmount adapter onto the autobellows soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay_prescott Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Thanks Kjeld for clarifying that for me. I think we would all be interested to see and hear about your results if you get an Eos/Tmount adapter on the bellows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
