Great pics M0nkey and great thread too.

I am saving to get that mp-e lens myself but it isnt in the budget right now.

For now I am going to take a seat and read along.

PEACE

Great thread, amazing pictures.

Great thread, amazing pictures.

Thanks for the the brilliant thread MOnkey, some fine images and information.

I have just broken the bank and got the mp-e so I can take my bubble hash images to the next level, no hash at the mo though so nothing to report there. I broke the bank so much that I will not be able to afford a macro flash for a good few months so it is just sunlight for me. Even sunlit and freehand you can tell it is a lens of amazing potential, I will be back with some mp-e melt shots like these in the not too distant.

My first mp-e macro.

full crop with some freehand wobble but yeah, I am in love.

with out a flash put your camera on tv mode..set your shutter speed to 200 iso 200..then in tv mode your camera wil set your fstops for u depending on how much light it has,,

Seeing these pics makes me want to get some decent macro capability.

This was taken with an ageing monocular reverse taped on the front of a Panasonic FZ-7.
Unfortunately the factory lens is fixed but of good quality.




Bit fuzzy but cost nowt.

Wow... just.... wow.
