Well, <a href="http://www.hot.ee/andress/24.htm">here</a> is

Rodenstock Apo-Rodagon N 80/2.8@f22 on Sinar F2, Velvia, drum scan.

Sorry for misprint, it should be 80/4@f22 ;)

I recently did an almost X7 times enlargement onto 4x5 film using a

reverse-mounted 63 mm f2.8 El-Nikkor, using taking apertures of f8 and

f11. I was able to use such large apertures because the subject was

flat. The bellows extension of 500 mm required an exposure

compensation of 6 stops! In this arrangement the reverse-mounted 63

mm lens covered 4x5 and delivered excellent resolution;

non-reverse-mounted, the resolution was poor.

I would like to know from others how the bellows extension was? Was

it far or just like normal lenses? I really liked the leaf shot.
