Haven't got a proper one ( macro lens) so i glued an old manual 50mm back to front on an extender and tried with this. My sigma flash was set to 1/4 power and because it stood 200mm above the lens i used a white card reflector held at 45 degree angle to the flash head.I dont think the photos turned out too bad but i will save for a proper lens

Thats pretty damn impressive for a ghetto solution. What settings were you using? Aperture etc.
