Some of you will probably know that the 150mm lens for a Bronica SQA has a pretty woeful close focussing distance of 1.5 metres making it useless for a tight head & shoulders portrait. I'd read that this can be improved with the addition of a +1 close up filter and was lucky enought o wind a genuine Bronica filter on evil bay last week.
Shocked isn't really the word for it, it's like a bloody macro lens now and is really hard to focus. I've used close up filters on my DSLR and you'e got to stack a few of them to get this kind of effect.
Anyone else found the sme thing or is the Bronica filter a bit more than the +1 indicated.
On a more technical note is there anyway of knowing how much I need to compensate for the loss of DoF?
Cheers,
Kev
