Macro Photography forum?

[roteague]

Hi folks... Anupam just shared the name of this site and though I do shoot digital I still have and use my trusty F2. I am excited to see that film purists still exist and I for one love film which I know in the eyes of many makes me a dinosaur too :-).... Anyway great to be here and I look forward to many useful exchanges ....Alex

Don't worry about sounding like a dinosaur, there are a lot of us, who actually don't own a digital camera. Welcome aboard, I hope you enjoy our community.

Digital cameras? Never heard of 'em.

I have a battery of macro lenses that I can use with both my Leica R series cameras and my Linhof Technikardan 45S. I have to try these with the Linhof. I have both the Leica R bellows as well as the old Spiratone bellows that allows for all the movements of a large format camera on both standards. I have a series of adapters to use these lenses and extension tubes for the both bellows for the Leicas and also adapters to use all the lenses (but the Leicas) for 4" x 5" . The adapters were made for me by SK Grimes and I have the Linhof Macro tube with the Compur 0 Shutter. I will also have to get a #1 copal shutter. Lenses that I have include: Canon 20mm and 35mm Macrophoto lenses, Leitz f2.5 25mm Photar, Schneider f4.0 M Componon, Rodenstock f4.0 1X 75mm Apo Rodagon D, Rodenstock f4.5 75mm 2X Apo Rodagon D, Leica f2.8 60mm Macro Elmarit, and the Leica f4.0 Macro Elmar Bellows lens.

"It seems like more and more, macro is now done digitally."

Could you please get time to explain where you got this from? Or I am missing something.

Thanks

Daniel, I b'lieve that nearly all of the people who show off their macro work here shoot digital. Those of us who shoot film and don't ever digitize are underrepresented.

It also seems to be true that beginners are much more likely to start with digital than with film. Digital gear is easier to stumble across.
