Many thanks for the comments and Favs much appreciated HMM
Photo taken for the January 17, 2022 Macro Mondays theme: my closest.
Thanks to this week's theme, I learned new things about the capabilities of my phone's camera (pro mode with manual focus, voice control).
I also dug out the cheap macro lens I bought for a couple of bucks at a garage/rummage sale (it appears to be the one shown here) and finally gave it a try. This is my first time trying to take such a close photo and I definitely need more practice...
This beautiful little notebook features Petrykivka painting by Olena Skytsiuk - I love the colors and the detail.
The tape measure is in cm/mm; photo is not cropped.
Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) was a German painter and one of the most important representatives of early expressionism.
She is recognized as the first known female painter to paint nude self-portraits.
This close-up depicts a tiny detail of a German stamp. 6.5 mm of it, to be precise!
To get that close, I used a good old reverse ring, associated with an ancient 28 mm Minolta manual focus lens, a converter from Minolta MC to Sony E-mount AND my 3 Macro rings (10 + 16 + 21mm).
The blue ruler put on top is not exactly sharp but shows that the whole width of the picture is about 6.5 mm.
Can't get any closer than THAT, even with trying hard! 😄

Laowa 65mm CA-Dreamer 2X Macro
Each square is 3/16" (4.76 mm) - the total width of the image is less than .94" (23.88 mm).
Those are some runners-up for this week's Macro Monday theme "My Closest".
The pictures have been taken with the same setting as "Paula's eyes", namely a Minolta 28 mm lens mounted reversed on top of a macro ring stack (10 + 16 + 21 mm)...
They are close-ups of various Swiss money bills (50 CHF for that one).
Width is indicated by the blue ruler at the bottom: ~6.5 mm.
Figure is 1.5" x .75"
U.S. 10-cent/dime and shadow of clear plastic ruler included for size (1 inch head to stomach)
This is a 2019 Canadian 1 Dollar coin. It is affectionately known as a Loonie due to the loon portrait on the reverse side.
Scroll saw blades. The smallest division on the rule is half a millimetre

The edge of the ruler at the bottom of the frame is graduated in mm - the width of the subject is about 7mm.

I removed the seed pods from one cluster of Fennel seed, leaving just one tiny pod. It is measured against centimetre ruler showing that it is less than half a centimetre in size. I then photographed it using my Laowa 65mm Macro lens which I managed to focus at a pigeon under 2x, 1.80:1 ratio.
A true 1:1 Macro. Shot using the 105mm lens and a x2 teleconverter. I use to be a Typesetter (Penta and Compugraphic. Quark made it easy :) ). This is my old Pica gauge with a Guitar pick
My Effort for Macro Mondays on the theme of "My Closest" - Looks like about an inch and a half.
Looking at this chap this close shows the limit of painting skills.
This image was captured on a Mitutoyo 182-202 Steel Rule, 1/100th showing. This is a 1/64" Thick X 1/2" Wide, Satin Chrome Finish Tempered Stainless Steel ruler. My subject matter are very small, m2 fasteners that you would find typically in eyeglass frames. To illustrate how small these fasteners are, the screw that is to the right of the subject is a 4/20 fastener. Which is typically the same fastener size as your tripod screw for your camera. With 25 years in the cold heading industry, I have manufactured a wide range of products in size and for different applications. However, I've never made anything quite this small.
The larger divisions on the measuring tape are 1/16ths of an inch, smaller ones are millimeters.

The eye of the needle is approx 2mm long, with lint from a woven placemat fringe and fine dressmaking cotton. Taken handheld with a Nikon NIKKOR 40mm 1:2.8G and lit from a mobile phone.
dead fern leaf with an imperial steel ruler background showing 32ths of an inch. For all you metric fans out there, 1/32th of an inch is about 0.8 mm. Shot tripod mounted with remote shutter, ringlight LED on flash trigger, 85mm lens with 68mm extension tube.
I like the infection sites prominent on the main stem and the hairs on the undersides of the leaves.

January 17: My Closest
HMM everyone and Happy Holidays!
This is a focus stack. created using 'Affinity Photo 2', of 30 photos taken with my Nikon Z6ii with a Nikkor 105mm macros lens with a 1.4x teleconverter and two extension tubes (12mm and 24mm). The 12mm shell is laid on silver card with blue card held above for the background colour. A white LED light was used for extra light. At the top of the photo is an out-of-focus tape measure with 1mm black markings.
This was taken for Macro Mondays 'Redux 2022'. I've chosen 'My Closest'.
I think this is about as close as I can get with my equipment. Always the hardest part is the dust on the background and the imperfections in the card it's laid on!
For this week's theme on macro Mondays, my closest shot of a shot. For reference purposes the space between the 10 and the 11 is 1 cm.

A little remark for the admins checking the time: the camera time is off by 1 hour (Sommertime), I have pictures from 10 minutes earlier if it's necessary.
Closeup of metamorphic rock from the Souris River near Wawanesa, Manitoba. Visible are quartz, garnet and mica crystals.
Taken with a Tokina 100 mm lens with reverse mounted 50 mm Canon lens and three extension tubes (12+20+36 mm). Gradations on the ruler are 1mm (3/64th of an inch).

This isn't really my "My Closest".
Because part of a ruler must be in the macro,
the magnification factor is limited.

Planned as a contribution for Macro Mondays 17.01.2022, theme "My Closest" - that is, until I read the rules for this week! Sadly, I didn't include a ruler in the picture to indicate the dimensions, so it won't qualify.
The subject is a 3x3mm detail of the leaf of a red oxalis plant, showing the surface as a conglomoration of juicy blisters. The diagonal is one of the veins of the leaf. I had considered introducing a little shading ("dodging and burning-in" to use old dark-room terms), but decided to create a vignette, The colour, brightness and contrast in the circle are close to the original, the edges and corners have been darkened, with increased contrast.
Taken with a Super-Multi-Coated Macro-Takumar 50mm f:1,4 lens mounted on fully extended bellows, a helicoid extension tube (very useful for fine focussing), and a further 100mm extension tube. Exact focussing becomes difficult at this scale (ca. 12:1 on the full-frame sensor of the K-1), even more of a problem is ensuring that there is no camera movement during the exposure. The bellows unit was mounted on a Repro stand - an anvil would have provided more stability!
The leaf was "sandwiched" between sheets of glass and lit from the side with an LED.
