my favorite, macro capture

I did a comparison of Nikon vs Sigma 105mm macro lens. Bought both to find out which I liked best. Turns out both are great lens and both do what I wanted them to but the Sigma won me over. the price was not the deal breaker but what they had to offer was. The Sigma has a lens setting for Full-0.45mm or ,312-0.45. This all makes a difference on how close or far you want to use the lens. The Nikon only had full or 0.45. The Nikon had so much glass in it it was heavier and I had trouble getting a clear focus due to the darker glass also. I also thought the Sigma had a faster AF although in macro I do not use Auto focus too much. Both have optical stabilization but that means nothing for Macro shots either. Yes the Sigma was cheaper and for the price more to offer. As you can see from these images I get great macro captures out of it. And that is what I wanted. Previous 105mm Macro shots were taken with the Nikon.

My first macro-captured, flying wasp.

Наверняка каждый из вас в детстве не боясь брал этого красного жучка в руки, и приговаривая: "Божья коровка, полети на небо, принеси нам хлеба..чёрного и белого, только не горелого",-подкидывал его в воздух, и жучок летел...только хлеба не приносил:))) Коровка семиточечная, или Coccinella septempunctata, была описана в далёком 1758 году. Наблюдая за этим жуком, энтомологи выяснили, что солнечное насекомое приносит людям огромную пользу, уничтожая вредителей садов и огородов. Несмотря на внешнюю симпатичность и безобидность, насекомое является абсолютным хищником. На любой стадии развития (будь то личинка, куколка или взрослый жук) коровка питается другими насекомыми. Основной рацион составляют различные виды тли, паразитирующие на самых разнообразных растениях – иве, крапиве, жасмине, горохе, картофеле. Пищевые предпочтения насекомого позволяют использовать его для борьбы с сельскохозяйственными вредителями. Например, для того чтобы избавить небольшую теплицу от персиковой тли, паразитирующей на томатах, достаточно 200 взрослых коровок. Таким образом, огородники-противники "химии" могут использовать семиточечную божью коровку в качестве «живого инсектицида». Такой вот полезный жучок:)

Not sure what this is really, it is not as big as it looks, this is a true micro/macro capture, it is a tiny little guy.

These days, it is easy to make macro movie clips with a latest DSLR or a digital HD camcoder. However I have neither latest DSLR nor digital HD camcoder. So I attach a reversed single lens to an old camcoder . This is really a simple way to make an old movie camcoder which has no macro fucntion to a macro capture available one.

Some vignetting are caused from the reversed lens aperture. I could get rid of it by zooming camcoder's lens, but it makes too shallow of focus range to make a difficulty to control.
