Gents and ladies,
I've tried and experimented with a macro set-up. I placed (reverse) a 18-55 (kit lens) on a 55-300 and put it on my camera (D5100). Results were.. well.. disappointing. The view was bad, really hard to focus, too hard to be honest and the result was disappointing. The light loss was enormous.
I've seen some awesome and sharp / clear photo's, but I can't manage to reproduce any of them.
Two lenses and experience further, I want to try it again. Currently I own:
- Nikon 18-55 f/3.5-5.6
- Nikon 55-300 f/4-5.6
- Sigma 17-50 2.8
- Sigma 10 2.8
I can buy some reverse rings, not a problem. But what is the best / most interesting setup? Let me know!
Cheers!
