Gang, Does anyone have a recommendation for lenses that can be stacked to give approximately 4x ?
John Shaw warns in his book "closeups in nature" that not all combinations stack well together, and between the lines I read that very few actually do. I use an FA50/1.4 lens reversed in front of an A*200/4 macro. This combination gives 4x magnification, but has some problems with low contrast and serious problems at small apertures (refraction?). When I look at photos taken at 4x by other photographers, I realise that there are better optics around for the purpose. I'd be interested to know if you have some experiences with moderate wide-angles reversed on a bellows as well.
