freakin crazy macro shots mate !! ...
hands freeze but them bugs keeps on moving
and yet your focusing were all spot on!
was just wondering if you took all of 'em using MF ...

Excellent work.

Nice work! Sharp and with rich colors.

Great macros!:thumbsup:

I am using the raynox with a lumix superzoom. The magnification is quite extreme, and the DOF is paper thin. You have a nice combo there with your prime lens.

great & very sharp

Yep, took every shot hand-held and always manual focus.

I don't have an 85mm prime, but I have a 90mm macro lens.

90mm + raynox
13cm away (at 1:max) - max F32
11cm away (at 1:10) - max F36
8cm away (at 1:3) - max F45
5cm away (at 1:1) - max F64


18-105mm + raynox @ 105mm
12.5cm away (at infinity) - max F36
8cm away (at 0m) - max F36 - lots of vignetting

18-105mm + raynox @ 50mm
12.5cm away (at infinity) - max F32


50mm + raynox
11.5cm away (at infinity)
11cm away (at 1.5m)
9.5 cm away (at 0.7m)
8.5 cm away (at 0.45m)

Thanks for the info Troy, good stuff, learnt alot from you.

Hi, very nice images you have here.

Can I know how to interpret the above magnification?
This combo can do more than 1:1?
Thanks in advance.
