everyday in the garden is a day well spent
lovely collection again @stresskiller!
what kind of setup was required to get that last super closeup shot?

if i remember correctly it was an old vivitart 35-70mm reversed
ok... i tried my other lenses (other than the 55mm I always use these days) and the reversed lens thing doesnt really work well... plus I am a bit scared to use my more expensive glass that way...
I'll have to dig something up on ebay... can you recommend anything in particular to get decently crisp and really close shots at a budget?!
best things are the "old"manual lenses where you have aperture control on the lens it self , search for rokkor 28mm or rokkor 35mm on ebay i use the 28mm my self but i still want to try the 35mm one day :) the28mm will have a better magnification . see also https://petapixel.com/2015/05/01/shooting-insect-macros-on-the-cheap-with-a-reversed-lens/
and this also gives some nice info https://photographylife.com/focal-length-in-reverse-lens-macro-technique
