Meghan, what magnification stop do you have the camera bellows set at (these are the nunmbers on the left bar on the side of the bellows) should be from 0.8 - 1.5 (from memory, I'm at work so can't check on my Tektro at the moment) If it is at 0.9 - you have 0.9 ratio magnificatioon of the object, at 1.4 you have a 1:1.4 x magnification and so on. I haven't used the lower magnifications, as I want to get as macro as possible, but I'm wondering if the bellows crop the image at the lower settings, I'm not sure why you would get this, as I haven't experienced it with my camera.
?
Sorry, I'm probably not much help here!

^ Hmmm, I don't think my camera shows any numbers on the left bar alongside the bellows. There's just the focus knob on the left-hand side. I wonder if this means my camera's somehow busted. I, too, am operating from memory because I'm at work right now, but I think I had the bellows fully extended — but I can't remember what focus value that means the camera was set at. I'm just hoping it's not that I have to buy a lens attachment or something, because I don't know if that's a possibility with such a rare camera.

i sort-of like the effect of having the bellows extended...the black 'border' really makes the colors inside pop.
