GH1 & FD Auto Macro Bellows

[Gary Senda]

I've bought the bellows on eBay: it was mint, for only 80 euros. These are the first attempts.

For the lighting I've used a self made LED ring. The lens is a Canon FD 50mm f1.4. MJPEG, 720p.

I'm very satisfied, I can see even the specs of dust on the Swarosky. I've ordered an inversion ring, for more macro resolution.

Thanks... they are just attempts, but the first images are very interesting.
Lighting must be improved: I'm devoloping some 'micro spots' using 1 w LED to improve the available light and the scene tridimensionality.
The GH1 performs a good white balance on the blueish LED ligth: when I use the same LED ring on my Rebel the white balance is not able to compensate completely the blue LED light.

This little camera has an incredible creative strength: you can use it for shootings that only one year ago were unimmaginable for reasonable budgets.

More I use my GH1 and more I discover its extraordinary flexibility
