Unfortunately with the magnification there's very shallow DOF

Yes - THe MT-24 fits straight onto the 100mm which was a bonus

How do you get the subject in so much detail? I have a 90mm 1:1 macro but I am sure mine wont focus that close ?

Also not to mention battling the focal plane handheld!

 

[jgs001]

Superb images, love the droplets

 

[morgie2008]

Lovely shots, the water droplets look brilliant.

 

[StingerNikon]

I think this is great!!!

 

[petersmart]

MMMMM!

I was going to buy this Macro lens then Canon brought out the L glass IS version so I decided that next year I'll be going for that (as soon as I can save up the pennies).

2 great pictures there, very impressive. I've got a Canon 100mm macro but have failed to get any where near this quality. I love the detail on both of these

Trev - if you have a flash try getting it off camera with a diffuser it makes a lot of difference.

[Dogfish_magnet]

I used a Canon MT24-EX fitted with modified puffer style diffusers

 

[slippery42]

[mameemonsters]

Euuww, flies are disgusting..I wonder how you managed to turn them into cool models here, fantastic shots nonetheless..

 

[albabbaobab]

Those are stunning, its these kinds of shot which keep tempting me to try a macro setup... But I have a budget to stick to :bonk:

If your on a budget have a look at these Raynox macro adapter's which you Can get for about £40 sometimes cheaper from TP in the classifieds.
