Close-up photography with manual focusing Minolta SLR cameras
Minolta X-700, MotorDrive 1,
MC Macro Rokkor 100mm f3.5 QE with life-size adapter,
PX 80 Macro flashgun
Minolta offers a lot of accessories for macro photographer:
Close-up lenses, extension tubes, bellows units, rails, stands, copying
units, macro lenses and microscope adapters to name most of them. In addition,
most third-party manufacturers offer their macro lenses and extension tubes
in Minolta MC or MD mount. These pages will discuss some of these in detail.
I have divided the subject into few sub categories, each at its own page,
Macro
lenses,
Extension devices and Other
equipment. There are also some samples of my close-up
photos. I will not write down the basics of close-up photography, because
they are available elsewhere in the net.
