I think this is marvelous, I'm not sure how you use a Close Up Dioptre on a TLR though, or is it a set of dioptres, one for the taking lens and one for the viewing lens? Mick.

Great image, love the detail you have achived, well done.

Kmcnally, this is a wonderful image! Nothing wrong with that Ricohmatic lens. I was going to try the Kentmere paper too. Looks very nice.

Thanks everyone for posting - much appreciated!

Mick, yes their is one coated lens for the taking lens, and another one for the viewing. You also use a paralax corrector on the viewing lens.

Thanks, Karl

If I were a lepidopterist I would know this species and wouldn't need to ask this question but what were the colours of the butterfly here? As there is no mention of a filter and I will assume it is sitting on a green leaf, I have ruled out the dark colours as being red, or dark blue. The light colour might be yellow or white and the dark colour dark brown or black. This will help me see in B&W - good job you can otherwise it might not have stood out from its platform the way it does.
