[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2416614, member: 1892"]Your experience is correct. :) The macro setup I'm describing isn't capable of a full-slab image. For those, I switch to (in my case) the stock Canon 18-55 taking lens, without the bellows. A one-lens solution is possible employing one of the much more expensive bespoke macro lenses in the 90-100mm range which can focus on their own, but that defeats the whole purpose of the system I'm discussing here. Only the finest of the duplicating lenses I'm talking about can exceed the quality of a bespoke factory Macro lens. The Componon-S is probably up to it. The appeal of the system is that the whole thing, including camera, can be had for less than the cost of one of those lenses.
