Thunderbird 3 I reckon

Hi mate

The Kr is a fine camera I used to have one and it felt really good in my hand, better then the K5. I have the Tammy 28-75 as well.

Welcome to the forum and look forward to seeing your pictures.

Pm sent re Tamron 70-200 f2.8

Looks to me it is a macro rail. used with a tripod to move the camera in very small amounts to achieve focus.

A really nice set.

I am getting really interested in macro now.

Oh by the way Vic

Spiders eat flies

Thanks Vic. We'll learn together.

I have been thinking of getting the same lens as you, as it might give a longer working distance, and better control, as with the M50 plus tubes the lens is only a couple of inches away from the subject. I have got a Tamron 28-75 so I might try that with tubes first.

I want to thank David for his comments. I pretty sure I was at f16, ISO 800, shutter between 1/45 & 1/90. I am going to try to set up a flash, maybe with a Pringles tube. Also I have been shooting with all my extension tubes on so I will try different tube set ups to reduce magnification and get more background in.

I think it very rewarding to get images like ours with no experience.

And we'll get better

Cheers

Jeff

You could always try macro in your garden. That's what I did 2 weeks ago and when I got bored.

Started having a go at macro a couple of weeks ago. I'm using a Pentax M50 f1.7 plus extension tubes. Here's a few images.










They can be viewed full size in Flickr, but what do you think
