A couple of days ago I went to a local wood to look for very small subjects, springtails, barkflies, mites etc. I wanted to test my FZ330 with a Raynox 150 and 250 stacked, which can cover scene widths from about 29mm down to about 5mm. As usual I used my KX800 twin flash.
I didn't find as many really small subjects as I would have liked. Most were in the region of 2.5mm head and body to about 6.5mm. Several were bigger. Only two were smaller, a globular springtail and a red mite. Still, FWIW here are some images from the session. I have indicated the approximate length (head and body) of each of the subjects.
Background to the kit, capture and processing of the images are in this post in my Journey thread. There are 1300 pixel high versions of these images in this album at Flickr.
