Macro with bellows
After reading our extreme macro photography on a budget, quite a few of our readers were wondering how they can take their new-found obsessions further - what if you want to go more extreme? What if you aren’t on a shoestring budget?
Our friend Kjeld Olesen has all the answers - Bellows is where it’s at if you want to go into extreme macro.
You can pick up a set of bellows from your local camera shop, and they should be available in used photography stores as well, at reasonable prices. You can’t argue with Olesen’s results, and he even provides a super-handy guide how to fit the Olympus bellows he has to an EOS fitting. Nifty.

Or you can make a lens kinda like the one I made. It is a combination of stacking rings and extension tubes.
