The only rule for the thread:

 

Photographs of small items larger than life size,  taken with the CL or TL  

 

Please state lens and method (i.e., macro lens ,or short focus tele, or  bellows, or rings, or diopter, whatever)

This combination yields 1:4 (1:2.67 relative to crop sensor) at MFD of just over 1.1m. For me, it is a comfortable combination of working distance and depth of field at an aperture that lets in enough light for handheld shooting in normal daylight conditions.  I have a Zeiss 2/100, but never use it for close-ups for the same reason I ditched the R 100mm APO a few years back: overly stiff focus throw.

I do notice an interesting difference to  the Q Macro thread - the longer focal lengths are really helpful.

For Macro, they hold an advantage.

Not only does it give a more pleasing perspective, it creates better lighting conditions. In some cases it allows us to approach the subject (some insects, for instance) without disturbing them.

It's remarkable that a setup with a 2X teleconverter can resolve the texture of the eyes, though it's probably not visible in this downsized version, cropped at about 40% . . .
