Late March in Illinois, it still feels like full winter and I miss green things! I captured this photo last August with my Bausch and Lomb 26mm F1.9 lens mounted on a Sony A7R II with a Fotodiox C-mount to Sony E-mount lens adapter and a Fotodiox Sony E-mount Macro Extension Tube.

The weather doesn't invite to outdoor photography today, so today's picture is taken in my livingroom.

Red-spotted Purple Butterfly Wing Detail - Lensbaby Burnside 35, Fotodiox Canon R Macro Extension Tube, Canon EOS R
It must be the 90's Jurassic Park kid in me, but every time I see dragonflies I think of dinosaurs. Dragonflies are some of the most beautiful, fantastic creatures and they live all around us! God is so good and we don't deserve such beauty in each intricately stained plate glass wing. I captured these photos very carefully--these guys are pretty good at seeing you coming--with my Lensbaby Burnside 35 mounted on my Sony A7S II with a Fotodiox Macro Extension Tube.

I have been contemplating longer native macro options for my micro-four thirds camera. Currently the Olympus 60mm F2.8 is the longest macro available. It has an equivalent field of 120mm on a full frame camera and often it is too narrow and provides too much working distance for some animals I photograph and just enough for others. With more skittish animals like lizards and frogs more working distance is always better.
I have experimented in the past with mounting a Sigma 150mm macro on my E-m1ii with a Kipon Canon EF to MFT adapter and was pretty impressed with that telemacro capability. But I had the older 150mm which isn't as sharp as the newer OS version and although it can autofocus pretty well it could be better. Its also not weather sealed.
One of the sharpest lenses for Micro Four Thirds is the Panasonic 200mm F2.8. It is equivalent to a 400mm focal length on full frame. This lens has a pretty good minimum focus distance and a macro capability of .2x. So I got to thinking about this sharp lens and increasing its macro capabilities and decreasing its minimum focus distance. The best way to do that and not degrade the performance of the lens is with macro extension tubes. Extension tubes don't have any glass they are merely metal/plastic tubes that you mount between your camera and your lens to decrease the cameras minimum focus distance which in turn allows you to increase the magnification of your subject relative to the size of your sensor. Some tubes are dumb and don't have any electronic connections. Others like the Meke Mcoplus Automatic Extension Tubes pass electrical connections to and from the lens and camera body and allow autofocus, exposure and aperture control.
I decided to buy this set to test out on my m43 lenses. Note these shots were all taken hand held in poor indoor lighting with me sitting in a rolling office chair and changing my distance to the photo subject (AA battery) by simply rolling forward or backward to obtain the minimum focus distance available with each of these combinations:
Lens Only
Lens + 10mm tube
Lens + 16mm tube
Lens + 10mm and 16mm tubes
I didn't measure the change in minimum focus distance with these different setups but you can see that by adding more distance between the lens and the body with these tubes I am able to focus closer and closer giving me more magnification till I am able to overflow the frame with the AA battery.
The minimum focus distance from the camera sensor to the subject with just the lens is 1.15 m (45.28″). I don't know how to calculate the effect of the extension tubes on that value to show it is decreasing but I am sure there is probably some formula that could be applied. The bottom line is this setup works really well for creating what is the sharpest macro lens you could ever hope for In a native micro-four-thirds lens.

Note all these shots were taken at F5.6 because that is the largest aperture I would choose when doing any macro photography. Although the lens is sharper at F4 and F2.8, I wouldn't have enough DOF for most subjects I like to photo. On Micro-four thirds I think F7 is probably the best for getting enough depth of field but I will go up to F5.6 depending on the situation.

Hi everyone, today a macro shot I did this morning before going to work, this is my window, and some designs created with the frozen water on it. Well today I have not much to say, to be honest I am very very tired, this will I attempt to go from Monday to Friday to Crossfit, so far 2 days completed, but lets see how it will be tomorrow with the sore muscles...
Have a nice night you all!
Thanks for the visit ;-)

Found this little beauty and got in close using my Sony SLT-A33, Minolta AF 50mm prime lens and the Opteka 0.20x fisheye lens.
SOOC (Straight Out of the Camera) + 1 shot in comments.
The Colorado potato beetle - Leptinotarsa decemlineata, is sometimes just called the Colorado beetle. It is one of the worst potato pests in the world.
The beetle is notable for its ability to resist pesticides. Over the last 50 years it has become resistant to 52 chemical compounds used in insecticides, including cyanide. However, not every population is resistant to every chemical.
The Colorado beetle first lived in the southwest United States and northern Mexico. Now it lives in most of North America and also in Europe and Asia.

Hi everyone!
An easy macro shot today, with just two question, do you think it is frozen? and what do you think it is?
I do no want to write more, I don't feel very well today and that sucks, specially because now I am officially in holidays and i got the appearance of getting sick just some hours ago, ffffff'ck!

Found it on one of my cactus in my kitchen, and well, I make it pose for the photo :D, yes I will go to hell for that, well I will go to hell anyways :P
Good night :), and see you in hell!
This is the second of a set of make-up photography I did with Becky. The first time I've ever tried lit, model photography and the first time I've ever used off-camera flash aside from one tester at the weekend.
All these shots were taken in an ad-hoc studio in a small kitchen with a low ceiling and cream walls.

Trying out my new macro extension tubes. This is an African Daisy from my garden and I have done nothing with the photo except resizing. The second photo is a cropped photo of the same flower.
