Fuji X-E1 Macro Dragonfly

Roughly a 1:3 crop shot on Manual Focus (MF), Sharpened and post processed with Nik Software

 

Fujifilm , Fujinon 18mm f/2.0 XF R Lens

 

18mm (28 35mm Equiv. is far from ideal for this sort of thing but it kind of works... apologies for overzealous sharpening.

 

For close focusing I set to manual focus, minimum distance, set the focus point to were i want the subject to be (AF button and d pad) and press the rear pseudo thumb wheel to magnify. I then move the camera back and forth, I find live view better for this sort of thing and release shutter when in focus.
