I used a >14198, 14256 and 14182, plus the 60mm extension of the 400's focussing mount and the total extension is 180mm, for a >reproduction ratio of 1:2.2. Subject-to-film distance is about 6 feet. > >Has anyone else done this? > >Doug Herr >Birdman of Sacramento >http://www.wildlightphoto.com Doug, I did almost the same with my 300 C**** (sorry) + macro bellow (135 mm of extension and about the same repro ratio) - very fine for butterflies or dragonflies which are rather shy.
