Automatic stacking with the IQ4 150 and Cambo Actus XL

Phase V

Not necessarily, Novoflex has a combination of a bellow and a shortend tube with the achromat-lens built in
that at least covers the Fuji GFX sensor, it should cover my IQ3 back as well but i am not sure about the quality
at the corners therefore the question.

I know you can mount it, but the article I linked above on the lens says that the corners start falling off on a full frame DSLR - I would be pretty surprised if the IQ3 works.

What exactly did you order?

Cambo Actus-XL 35 mm and the Rodenstock 105 macro and Cognisys AXCL-985
Yes, but what rail and bellows. There are a few things maybe Cambo did not mention to you.

- If you ordered the standard 300mm rail you will be restricted to 1:1 magnification with the Rodenstock 105. You cannot go higher magnification with that rail.
- Even on the 300mm rail I can obtain 1:1 with the AC-214 long extension bellows (5-fold). I am not sure you can with the standard AC-210 standard bellows (3-fold). I don't have the AC-210 to test it but there is a big possibility it won't work.

This is the Rodenstock 105 focused for 1:1 magnification. As you can see the 300mm rail is fully utilised and the 5-fold bellows is extended quite a lot.

hi
very good point. I think they got It covered but I think I will borrow your pic and make sure they understand. have you any pic you feel like sharing with this setup around 1:1
I would appreciate it. [email protected]
how long steps do you do for F8 at 1:1 ?, and how does it differ with the big knob compared to the small turns the rail needs ?
