good lord, how much did your insane macro setup set ya back?

graemo In reply to siriusasthma [2006-12-17 16:04:05 +0000 UTC]

about 100 bucks all in all
as you can see in the link in the description, i used a non-macro lens which i already had and reversed it
the only things i bought in addition were a set of kenko tubes and some thread adapters

i dont know much about lenses but i do know your setup confuses me and i am confused by tubes

graemo In reply to siriusasthma [2006-12-20 17:17:18 +0000 UTC]

i also work with a macro lens now, it's more versatile than reversing lenses

Whoa. That's close. Would be pretty cool if you can get close enough to see the camera in its segmented eyes huh?

graemo In reply to karnf3st [2006-04-28 16:19:15 +0000 UTC]

uhh, not easy
here is a 100% crop [link]
you can still not see the camera but this is also due to the fact that it is behind the flash and therefore simply too dark

I like this one a lot, great magnification. I can actually see that the eyes consist of small triangle-like flakes. Nice

nur mal so als frage: wie is'n die qualitΓ€t in vollauflΓΆsung? hab nΓ€mlich mal mein 50/1,4 rΓΌckwΓ€rts an mein macro rangeklebt und dadurch n paar shots gemacht... war zwar ne riesige vergrΓΆsserung aber die qualitΓ€t hat echt zu wΓΌnschen ΓΌbrig gelassen....

graemo In reply to elinaa [2004-08-22 12:51:45 +0000 UTC]

because it's a totally unversatile single purpose 1000 € lens that doesn't offer more magnification than i already have?

elinaa In reply to graemo [2004-08-22 13:19:04 +0000 UTC]

i think you can get even closer. i think it's 5:1

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

graemo In reply to elinaa [2004-08-22 13:38:02 +0000 UTC]

i know it does, who says i can't?
and you'd pay 1000 € for the difference between 4.5:1 and 5:1?

anyway, my current setup goes to 8-9:1 [link] but that's beyond useful
