RE: SUMMER ADVENTURES - Episode 38 - THE MOTH FILLED EPISODE ... for the Butterfly Day and Insect Day Giveaway - Week 42
Some of the small ones I made ten or so years ago with CANON EOS 350 D camera and 100 mm macro lens + macro ring lite flash .... and some of them are recent, from the last summer when I bought a new second hand canon powershot sx60 hs + also second hand Raynox DCR-250 2.5x Super Macro conversion Lens that are mounted like some filter ... and this last combination is a great one, easy. Lightweight, easy to work with, not expensive and with some practice and patience brings great results - highly recommended.
you mean, this Raynox lens is mounted to another x1 macro lens, and you getting smth like x3,5 ???!
I use only lens that gives true x1 macro. and these moths never looked so great. no eyes, no legs, only some wing textures in focus (in the best case!)
I will try to check ebay to see is it available. I feel tempted. you definitely have better setup then me. but I like to keep things simple..
No, no ... this small filter like conversion thing is mounted on the lens of the compact camera and more you zoom greater the magnification ... and is a great non-expensive macro tool ... this post, ad example, is completely made with this, and it has some very small creatures in it
