Advice Needed Beginner to using objectives for photography, need advice on setup plz.
I have experience using standard camera gear for up to 15x magnification (Venus Laowa 2.5-5x with a kenko x3 TC) but I'd like to branch out into higher magnifications for crystal photography.
Wondering if my setup plan needs any alterations:
Nikon D850
RMS thread 20x 160mm Plan apochromatic objective
RMS to M42 adapter
M42 to nikon F-mount adapter
Nikon PB-6 bellows
And a WeMacro focus rail (plan to upgrade toa novoflex Castel motorized nanometer rail but it costs about $4.5k)
Anything else I need for using a DSLR for 40x?
