It is designed with an image circle of just 8 mm and optimised for 1:10 magnification, so the best way to employ it for macrophotography is reversing it on a medium- to large-format camera. At 10:1 (10X magnification) it then will give frame-filling shots for the 6x9 cm format with incredible and stunning image detail. I mostly use it on my 1955-vintage Linhof Technika field camera for extreme macro work. Optimum apertures are f/2-f/5.6.
