Some recent macros

Fantastic results

Kudos to you sir.

1) Great images! Showcase quality.

2) Raynox DCR 250? Never heard of it.

3) Google is my friend and tomorrow will see an order being placed.

4) Many thanks for the post, it's been an education.

Best regards

Yes it is the 'Sigma Achromatic Macro Lens' - bought it to use with the old sigma 70-300 APO lens to give it 1:1 magnification

Very nice images. If you get a beast that will stay still long enough (shield bugs for example), have a go at focus stacking. It solves the dof problem.

Thanks

Thanks, there should be quite a lot of info about the Raynox DCR-250 and it less powerful brother the DCR-150 on the web, with info about magnification and working distances. They are quality optics giving a lightweight portable solution to macros and closeup.

Thanks, I have dipped my toe into stacking but just can't get on with it. Alignment issues and much time watching the egg timer spin on my older PC's. Some of the images I have seen others produce using this technique are amazing though.
