10-17mm FE macro

Just been out with the K7 and FE. Stopped of at my local Golden Orb site. Had the K10 and 100 macro with me but decided to try some with the 10-17mm as it's close focus is just too close for comfort.

Hand held in breezy conditions so not as sharp as I have taken before but it just goes to show what a FE can do if asked.

Best regards

Pretty neat given the conditions and the compo is very pleasing - but, this is still far too close for me, spiders are never going to get the close up treatment from me, not even with my beloved Sigma 150-500!

They were more of "lets see how this works out" shots.

Best regards

Pardon the noobness but what's this FE you talk of ?
Some extension tube?

It's FE for Fish Eye.

Best regards

Doh, must be FishEye. I actually own that same lens, I just assumed you used something to get even closer. This must have been quite a large critter nonetheless.

Thanks for sharing

edit: need more speed
