My “Introduction” [documented, warts and all] To Macro using cheap DSLR and “mashup” gear

I Wanted to try some macro photography on my EOS 20d,  and stumbled upon a used Olympus OM Bellows, I already had an OM 35mm Film Outfit [going rusty],

I Needed to buy a converter ring [£7 -£8]  OM/EOS & a Canon Extension Tube for Clearance. [£3-£4]  I’d be able to use my lovely, redundant, festering, manual Zuiko OM lenses from the Olympus on the Canon,  and, try some macro shots too.

I found a Bellows for under £50.00 delivered,  [It was bloody broken!] Super glued it, all  seems OK.

Setup: Canon EOS 20d OM System Bellows, Adaptor rings OM /EOS Extension Tube [for clearance] 50mm & 135 Zuiko / Olympus Lenses.

Adaptor ring took ages to turn up when it did I tried this.  OM Zuiko on the EOS 20d

That Seems to work OK……………..[first ever OM lens on EOS mashup]

Here goes: canon + short tube + bellows + 50mm lens what a lump. [lens -to- subject around 20 mm]
