HeinzX Posted June 2, 2019 Share #1  Posted June 2, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Two extreme macros of a blossom on the SL with the Canon MP-E 65. The magnification rat of the second is app. the maximum which is achievable with this lens on the SL - i.e. 5 times natural size and cropped a little bit in addition. That means, that in this size of the picture details are shown perhaps 100 ply of the size which we see it in the nature with our eyes. That is no calculated, just my feeling. Taking photos with this lens at such high magnification rate  is not the easiest task - but the excellent finder of the SL helps.  Welcome, dear visitor!

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Yes, I can imagine it was a bit difficult. Was the flower indoors? One of the trickiest things I find with photographing flowers and butterflies closely in the wild is movement of the subject. It is one thing to reduce camera movement to a minimum (obviously a tripod can help enormously), it is quite another to avoid the subject moving in and out of the plane of focus. At macro magnifications, the DOF is very narrow and all movement is magnified. The slightest breeze can play havoc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzX Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share #3 Â Posted June 3, 2019 The photos were taken inside - but even there was ventilation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
