Playing with this lens yesterday and decided to try it reversed, just on a whim. It's a chromed brass and glass thing, rather large, enlarger lens I think. [iurl=http://forum.mflenses.com/userpix/20204/big_7980_DSC07162_1.jpg][/url]

Really nice Like 1 . I have one of those, what did you use to reverse it?

49mm filter reverse ring to eos and a cheap chinese eos bellows. Simple and (marginally) effective. The tensioner on the bellows was jittery so finding and keeping focus was a bit challenging at times. I have ordered a different reverse ring for one of my better bellows system. Anybody know what the FL would be for this? is it 150 as well?

Thanks. Those shots remind me so much of '3d' photographs of flowers and such that you got free with something. It was like a frosted plastic card that when you moved it around, it looked like the actual flower was trapped inside it. It's a vague memory that wont come to me in detail.

Anyway... Photo Cornocopia gives the c1980 version an FL of 143.1. Schneider are supposed to be known for evolution more than revolution in their designs, so I suppose you could use that FL as a guide if yours, like mine, is an earlier version.
