[Clart]

Not a lot to take pics of this weekend, due to the weather so i thought i'd have a go with my hoya close ups.

hoya close up, +4, +2 and +1 stacked on a 50mm f1.8

I'm after a 50mm but funds are low at the moment saving for a cam belt change.

But I've just remembered I have a Raynox 250 I used on my Panasonic FZ50 that should just about fit my 18-135 lens.

Excellent pics, pleased with the filters?

With them stacked the depth of field is nearly non-existent!

 

[Sarah]

wow the baby ones ace

Caterpillar and Fly pics could have been good.

If you just stuck the +4 on would that not maintain decent enough depth whilst with cropping allowing decent close-up?

What lens were you using? 10-20?

Best macro I've seen were in Digi Photo magazine a few months back, involved backlighting all different types of fruit/veg/plants and backlighting them with an office lamp. Was really interesting seeing all the textures or each!

dose this filter combo auto focus ?? or do they have to manually focus'd

They do autofocus, however I've never used it, it's about 50 times easier to manually focus with any macro lens/set-up as the chances of the AF picking up the exact point you want (i.e. spiders eyes) is almost non existent.

 

[JJ!]

Must remember to get these next pay day!!!
