Bellows + 50/3.5

Got a strange fever of testing "weird" lenses on the A700.
This time it's the Industar-50-2 a 50mm f/3.5 soviet made very small and tiny-thin lens (I'll attach a picture of it later on), attached to a bellows (non automatic, M42 screw mount).
Here's a result under normal room illumination (with energy saving warm-light bulbs).

No cropping.

I was trying to find the focus point and failed. Maybe it's a bit soft? Was this wide open? Give us a few more to see what the lens can do!

Thomas, if you think I can find the focus point, then you're wrong. :lol:
In fact it's quite difficult to shoot with such a combo. I tried to focus... you see the results.
Next time I'll attach my Right Angle Finder to be more accurate in focusing.
And yes, you're right about the shot being wide open.
I'm still experimenting.
I had an El-Nikkor (enlarging lens), if I can find it, then it will be my best candidate for a lens+bellows combo.
