Man, I really have not been getting many comments on this forum lately. Think it might be time for me to take a break from TPF...not too many macro shooters here anymore I don't think.

Nates This set is amazing the sharpness is awesome.

Great pictures. The color and focus are really spot on.
I like the first picture the best.

How far away did you take the picture?

 

[NateS]

Thank you guys. These were not at 1:1 as I couldn't get that close with them moving so much. They were probably closer to 1:2 and I"d say a good 2 feet away.

Thanks. I used a Tamron 180mm f3.5. No tubes as it takes a ton of tubes to make much difference on a 180mm lens. I do plan to get a 1.4 pro300 TC which will get me to 1.4:1..then a 500d Canon up-close lens for the Tamron which should get me close to 2:1. All in due time though.

Love these - especially #2.
The reason I don't reply is because I'm a mere beginner and I don't feel like I can give an educated comment.
