Sorry for misprint, it should be 80/4@f22 ;)

I recently did an almost X7 times enlargement onto 4x5 film using a reverse-mounted 63 mm f2.8 El-Nikkor, using taking apertures of f8 and f11. I was able to use such large apertures because the subject was flat. The bellows extension of 500 mm required an exposure compensation of 6 stops! In this arrangement the reverse-mounted 63 mm lens covered 4x5 and delivered excellent resolution; non-reverse-mounted, the resolution was poor.

I would like to know from others how the bellows extension was? Was it far or just like normal lenses? I really liked the leaf shot.
