It Was Philip’s Turn To Have A BBQ
I carried around my mid-seventies Koni-Omega Rapid 100. The color film was the new Kodak Ektar 100 and the B&W film was Tri-X Pro..

Super-Duper-Macro
A couple of months ago, with the help of DeMasse I built a macro tube based on the idea from Photocritic this was fun little project. Photocritic laid out the idea for using a Pringle’s can, but I figured polyvinyl chloride tubing would work much better, and reverse mounted Yashica ML f1.9-f16 50mm lens. I suppose I could upgrade to a Zeiss lens, which would be awesome.. I suppose I could use my 90mm Leica M lens. I’ll work on that.
Note the white PVC on the end, with this I could increase magnification by extending the length of the lens barrel. This little do it yourself is fun. Now however I realized I need to purchase a Macro-Focusing Rail Set. It’s about $200 for one, some hopefully by the end of the summer, I will save some coin for that..None of the images below are cropped these are full images from my EOS 40D.
