Do you think Carl's ST 0.45x Wide angle with macro enough for taking close up?

thanks bro...


oooooo..thanks for your explanation..
i'll go back try again and practise more..

how about shooting close up for smaller inserts like grasshopper/spider?

For smaller insects, get a dedicated macro lens.

Nikon 105 (if you have the dough)
Tamron 90 (on the cheap)

Either that or experiment with the BR-2A reversal ring. I think you will need to order this as not many shops carry.

Call the shops listed to ask if it's available.
