Full process of assembling a small macro monster:
NIKON FM3A + MICRO 105MM F/2.8 + PB-6 + PB-6E + SB-21B
With only the PB-6, partially extended to 150mm, the head of a fly will fill the whole frame. Completely extended, one eye of the fly occupies the entire photograph. Adding the PB-6E, a couple of dots representing no more than 10% of fly's compound eye will be what you can see in detail ...
In other words, the PB-6 renders nearly an 11X magnification ratio (depending on the lens used) while, attaching the PB-6E, doubles the magnification ratio to 22X.
In macro flash photography, calculating the correct exposure, is always a complication. The Nikon SB-21A/B Macro Flash is a TTL flash with advanced electronics that assure consistent exposure control with variable output. Another highlight is the built-in focus illuminator to aid with manual focusing.
For this video, we used a Nikon FM3a, but the mount described above can be used with any SRL or digital camera (with adapter, if not Nikon).
If you are in macro, the Nikon's PB-6 bellows, unlike many other brands, live up to its promises and will take your images to the next level.

Absolutely spectacular setup! I can't imagine the weight of all that gear is... One thing that I know since I own a Nikon F myself is just how durable all Nikon's old gear is, all mechanical no batteries, the fact that I can take photos with something that is older than 50 years is mind blowing! It just needed some care on the internals, perfectly working, a true joy to use!
I completely agree with your comment. Today’s deliberate shortening of a product’s useful life (programmed obsolescence), in order to increase consumption, is, from my view, a serious environmental problem for the planet. When a camera lasts more than 50 years, instead of 3 or 4, the world saves more than 12 times the raw materials and energy to manufacture such a product. That is, in part, the reason for our store, not wasting resources, and repairing, instead of recycling.
Awesome macro set up!!!
Thanks
Insane setup, I have often considered the Pb-6
The PB-6 renders nearly an 11X magnification ratio (depending on the lens used) while, attaching the PB-6E, doubles the magnification ratio to 22X.
This way, you'll be able to photograph the aliens that live inside the atom world lol😂
wow nice 😄😃
Thank you very much for your opinion
Amazing gear 👌👏👍 pictures taken?
But where is the pictures?
In progress. Thank you for being patient
@@nikon-filmvintagecameras2630 still in progress?

This is insane and amazing at the same time. I was wondering for a favor, since you went to the trouble of assembling this rig for all of us to lust over... Put a DSLR on this bad boy and take some Macro/Micro shots if you would please. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see the results of what kind of magnification you get out of this. Im going to bet 10x or better. Just wow.
I know it may sound strange, nowadays, but we don't have any DSRL here... nevertheless I think we will have to buy one to take the required macro photography... Thank you very much for your opinion
I Own the PB-6 but the PB-6Extension is hard to find at reasonable price, still looking!
I agree with you. Prices have risen quite a bit in Japan, where we buy, which is reflected in the selling prices which must include transportation and import taxes. On the other, in the second hand market, the condition of the product directly influences its price.
LOL, having shot with this rig professionally 'back in the day'.... better to buy a microscope! that setup is great for shooting dust on grains of sand. "Depth of field?... We don't need to stinking depth of field!!!" Super cool, and superb condition! Not loving the "FM" body on that rig, but it's lightweight and will get the job done.
Thanks for your comments.
In any case, the body is an FM3a.
Is that 105mm macro? Where's the image?
Yes, it is. Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8. When the film is finished and we develop it, we will post some photos on our blog nikon-film.com/blog/
Cool, but is it actually useable? 22x magnification . . . . does a useable amount of light actually get to the film? And is there anything flat enough to photograph? Depth of field must be minuscule.
Waiting for the images. Blog page....says not available!
No samples? Haha
Hard to believe in 2022, but we don't even have a cheap DSRL in our company.... However, we are considering buying one, if only to make this much requested macro photo... thanks for your comment.
It certainly looks very impressive - but it's not really practical. For bigger magnifications a shorter focal length (reversed) makes more sense and with the 105mm you're well outside its optimal range. This is a 1:2 macro lens, so even for 1:1 you need some pretty substantial extension tubes - and you'd have stop down a bit to make up for that as well. Now for that combined length of bellows... phew... you'd be looking at +4:1 and then diffraction is really annoying. Even wide open your effective aperture is around 18-20(ish?) so you won't get more than 16-14MP of resolution. Focus stacking or pixel shift wouldn't make a difference, the lens is just at a hard physical optical limit.
But looks neat and impressive. Until you know what's going on.
Well, it all depends on what you want to photograph... In our case, instead of a bug, what we wanted was to photograph the device... And that's what we've done.
Thanks for lecturing, anyway...
@@nikon-filmvintagecameras2630 It's not really a lecture, it's just that it's difficult to find a real life use case scenario for the bellows extention - well at least in a digital age. Maybe with a different lens or a combination of stacked optics (using a very lang tele lens as a tube lens?)... but then again the extension wouldn't have to be as massive... anyway, interesting but difficult to find a use for.
