Thanks Carolyn, Paul and Colette.

As you've probably guessed,...I recently bought a new "toy"!

My Nikon PB-4 bellows unit arrived early last week and I immediately went out to give it a test run.
My first impulse was to go with maximum extension of the bellows and stick my macro lens into the first flower I could find.
This photo was the result.
(The front of my lens was actually touching the petals.)

I've since acquired a 105 mm 2.8 Micro-Nikkor to get a little more working distance and shot a few rolls of film of insects and other subjects at greater-than-lifesize.
The results are getting processed and I will post some at a later date.
