Wow, so many nice photo! I was struggling with my set-up and finally could capture few photo. The resolution of the CZ Jena 135/3.5 + Raynox250 is not really good! It's time to invest in a true macro lens, I think.

All shoot using GXR M Module and CZ Jena 135/3.5 + Raynox250 and most of them are un-cropped photo


The first shoot is the one I love the most although not spot on!

[chipvn]

Few more
