A little experiment - A little update

[simon ess]

Thought I'd try sticking a Raynox 250 on the front of my Fuji X100s.

It's not 1:1 but it's quite a bit closer than the camera can manage on its own.

This one demanded to be in b+w. I couldn't refuse.

A successful experiment I'd say. It worked well. (Or rather, you worked it well.)

Number one is very good

I like them both but I especially like the first - I think

 

[simon ess]

Thanks folks.

I must admit I'm quite pleased with the results.

Both lovely but i have a love for B&W and i'm drawn to #2 as my fav

 

[simon ess]

Thanks T.

In which case, have another one.

I think Nick, has made us all in the experimental mood.... I've been experimenting with tubes and set-ups on all my 3 current lenses.

Excellent job Simon brilliant photos and glad the experiments have worked out.

Thanks Bryn.

Yes - The idea did spring from @GardenersHelper . His contributions to this part of the forum are inspiring.

Seems you have hit the sweet spot with the raynox. I never got on that well with mine unfortunately.

Great work Simon.

The Raynox 150 and 250 work well on the x100 but the 202 vignettes. Excellent shots Simon, I really like the 1st and the mono conversion are spot on.

Thanks again chaps.

In the interests of further experimentation, I've just spent £3.65 on a 49mm to 52mm male / male step up ring.

Guess what I'm thinking.
