STOPI agree. macro shooting gear can also be not so expensive.
correct , mr Digitalis
even though not a true macro lens, the results are amazing, this at a fraction of the cost of buying a macro lens.
very useful tip, thank you
you're welcome , there is really no need to buy a $450,- macro lens if you just want to see if macro fits you or not
It all about getting the photo. And you did. Great.
thank you David
That was very instructive and well illustrated post @macrophotography. I highly appreciate this kind of posts. Upvoted, resteemed & DPS.

Oh, good to know @macrophotography, but I will have to have that famous approval for each of your accounts. So, let's start with this one: Please state clearly in the comments how would you like to be featured in the “Daily Photo Selection”: with a linked photo, or with link only without a photo. We are making a list of photographers who are ready to improve the visibility of their work through the DPS.
that would be linked photo :)
Thank you @macrophotography.
These are amazing! I have a Raynox macro converter lens, that I clip on my lenses, but that has not enough DOF.
raynox also works nice , but it does have it's limitations , it could depend on the lens that you use the raynox on, never tried that myself .
