Re: Close Ups with non-rotational Fuji G617

[simon nathan <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

dear bob- this can be
done with proxars  and focus before you load film before photography.
you might have read  my post to collin in australia some time back
about my mamiya
based simon wide which
has swings (bellows) in back which gives me additional close focusing beyond
schneider built focusing mount for 121 mm super angulon. i can snail this
if i get your address in block form one more time. i hope to have two scanners
hooked by a week from now. will i be able to use these, i dunno. snail
best for now.  since you will be changing effective focal length you
might just bracket exposures to to learn f-stop real values for each proxar
(closeup lens).simon

Hi:
I got thinking the other day that my Fuji G617 can only focus as close
as 3 meters. I was thinking of trying some supplementary close up lenses
for images closer than 10 feet (3 meters). Do any of you have any
experience along these lines? Is it a waste of  my time to try it?
Thanks for any advice that you may offer.

Sincerely,
Bob Tescione
