Another fantastic set Dennis! Very well done. I'll have to give the MPE a go one of these days.

Cheers,
Stephen

Thank you Gary and Stephen, these back yard forays between the rain and clouds of the past few months have been quite refreshing and stimulating.

Cheers

Dennis

Lovely work Dennis. I am once again, inspired.

Can you share what your setup was for lighting? What was your aperture and shutter?

Baz.

Nice macros Dennis. That lens will do 5:1, or so I read?

These shots are out of this world! I am guessing that these macro lenses are expensive to do something like this. Would love to do this!

Thanks Rowland, the lens starts at 1:1 and goes all the way to 5:1, although I’ve only managed to get to between 3:1 and 2:1 due to the diminishing FOV and DOF focus once you get above 2:1.

Cheers

Dennis

Hi Stefan

For anyone wanting to get into the world of macro photography, I would look at the more traditional macro lenses, such as the Canon 100mm F2.8 and the Tamron 90mm F2.8 that Stephen Mudge uses. They will provide years of fun and exploration and have auto focus and can be used as normal lenses for portraits, etc.

The MPE-65 is a highly specialised macro lens and is manual focus only. The closest focusing distance is approx. 10cms so it is useless for anything else.

Cheers

Dennis

These shots are excellent Dennis, well done.
That lens is quite difficult to use properly but you're managing it brilliantly.
