Macro Surface Mount Resistor Family
I thought I was doing macro with chicklets and then I read about John Dohrn. No way, things could get way more macro. Ok, so I rummaged under my desk and found a 30 year old Pentax Asahi 1.8/55. Flipped it around and used electrical tape to hold it on the front of my super zoom (2.8-3.7/35-420mm). Ok, now I needed a subject. Scouring the house I found a dead fly but it didn't look so photogenic. I found a couple things with detail including this very old ethernet card.
It was lit with flash left and above on 1/4 power through several layers of white fabric and and desklamp with daylight bulb overhead. Main lens stopped to f11 and zoomed to 420mm, the adjunct lens wide open and focused short. Focused manually with the main lens. It is amazing trying focus and work with a sub-millimeter depth of field.
In this one the outer lens wasn't open all the way so got some vignetting.
