Macro: Are macro shots possible with ALPA cameras?
Yes. There are four macro adapters of 6.5, 16, 34 and 52 mm length that can be used in any conceivable combination. It is advisable to use special macro lenses. In general, it is also advisable to use a groundglass or (with a digital back) a tethered notebook for precision focusing and framing.
