At 1.8x, the full-frame FoV is 20mm. Positively agoraphobia-inducing it is
The stack was 11mm deep and taken with 100micron steps for 111 images in total. This 2400 scanner lens seems to have a pretty short focal length, so it produces lots of perspective foreshortening. This meant I had to turn on scaling in Zerene (PMax) and lost quite a bit of the FoV to streakies around the edges (as expected). So after cropping these out, the final FoV is around 14-15mm - still "ultra-wide-angle" compared to my usual stacks. A little output sharpening was applied to the image - but more out of habit than necessity.
Not bad for a freebie lens! Here's a 100% (pixel for pixel) crop of the critter from the image above. Pls excuse the hazy bits, the bug was actually quite a distance behind that bit of foreground cone, so I'm surprised it wasn't a lot worse.
Incidentally, the scanner lens isn't too shabby for handheld macro either. I'm going to try it with an iris fitted behind for some aperture and DoF control. The extra thickness of the iris will take it to about 2x I think. Another time though...
