Uploaded a video showing how the Nikkor and the Cosina can be combined.

Hey Red /

I am watching your tutorial on flickr about combining lenses. Thanks a lot, it's gonna help me so much.
Now i need to buy a similar nikkor 50mm / ^^
it will take place for the following months, I do not have much of money after all these celebration of Christmas. I will look at if there exist objectives with similar diameters at low prices. but the nikkor 50mm seems excellent.

Still thank you for this invaluable tuto.
Have a good day.

Hi Myriagone,

Glad to hear the video made sense a bit. To tell you the truth, the last minute or so is missing. It is my first video tutorial ever, and I didn't realise Flickr would trim it down to 1m30sec. I'll upload the second part later on one way or another. It shows how the Nikkor's front rim fits around the extending end of the Cosina, just like the way it fits around the 1:1 adapter. This way de Nikkor can be reverse 'mounted' to the Cosina, which allows for macros beyond 1:1 magnification, like this one.



Perhaps you already understand what I mean now that you've seen the first part. In any case I'll let you know when I've uploaded the second part.

Part 2 has been uploaded too.

Hey R E D !

I had a small doubt about the assembly, but with the second part, I understand your technique better. For the moment I await the 100mm. I will buy the ring of adaptation later to test the macro with the reverse lense.
I will return to share the photographs.
Thanks thank you to have taken time to explain us your process.

see you later.

Voilà un long dialogue, sans doute très enrichissant, mais pas pour les non anglophones !
