I am a new member to the Leica Forum and recently acquired the Leica Q.  The following image was taken with the Q, F/16, 1/125 and handheld.

Lady's Mantle is such a fascinating plant.  From the new birth of the accordion shaped leaves to the "saw-blade" edges when fully opened.  The raindrops add a nice touch to the leaves. The image was taken with the Q, 1/125 sec at f/16.  (ISO 800) Handheld.

Leica Q2, Macro, Canon MR-14 EX II Ring Flash, 1/125, ISO 100, f/16, on tripod. Our Christmas Cactus is blooming in May. Go figure. It's confused. The resolution and sharpness of the Q2 is stunning. You can see from the listing below what a narrow DOF results from being so close to the subject  1 3/16”

Any flower or flowering shrub/tree struggle with our spring season.   Just as the flowering Crabapple began to open its blossoms, we received a substantial amount of snow.  I like the contrast of the seasons as presented in this image.   Leica Q, ISO 400, 1/640 second, f/8.0

The Snow Crabapple got an overnight coating of snow.  By noon most of the snow had melted in preparation for more snow overnight.  Leica Q, ISO 400, 1/250, f/4.

A couple more of my super macro experiments.. A tip of a moss seed and some robert geranium pollen. Both taken handheld on continuous and had some basic image stacking.

Wow! what are they Dimitrios?

I'm wondering whether the 28 mm lens--not usually good at macro because, among other things, it requires such a close-up that the photographer's shadow can come into play--isn't, however, especially good for the photography you're exploring.

Hello Ken,

Apologies, I edited the post and added description!

The challenge with the wide lens is that you need a specially designed extension lens in order to compensate for the huge amount of vignetting.. Most people just like to go with the flow, but I just enjoy the challenge.. I am currently still having a lot of vignette and those photos where cropped at 50mm.. I am now exploring whether the use of a concave mirror can be the best solution for that.. Also about to modify my 3D printer to turn it into an automated focus stacking machine..

Demitris,

3D printer as a focus stacking machine. Wow. Want to see the results and the machine working.

I want to introduce my Beta to the Leica Forum.  I'm sure you will be seeing more of him in months to come.   This was taken with the Leica Q, 1/250 sec, f/11, ISO 200 in Macro Mode.  To take this image I needed to use an overhead flash.  I discovered the  Godox TT350 and Godox Transmitter X1T worked perfectly with the Leica Q.
