Today we're getting up-close-and-personal with large format by doing some macro photography! There's a few differences between using a normal large format lens and one that's optimized for macro working distances. In this video I'll be demonstrating some simple tabletop still lives of produce fresh from my garden beds. I'm using the Nikkor AM ED 120mm f/5.6, which when used at a magnification of 3x or higher, can even cover 8x10!
