This is my kind of thread. I've got to get in on this one, but sadly I'm at work at the moment. I'll see if I can come up with some super macros when I get home tonight.

On that note, I'm curious about something, I'm contemplating the reversed lens method you guys are using to add to my already really good super macro mode, but I see that you're using tape to attach the lens. I've been doing some research into marco photography and macro lenses and I've read there's something referred to as a coupling ring. From what I understand it supposedly allows you to couple the lenses together without the use of tape. Now I haven't heard anyone here mention that as of yet, just the tape method, so I was wondering why you guys prefer using tape or if any of you do use the ring? For me, I'd like to avoid the use of tape (if possible).

Oh yeah, before I forget. For those of you using the reverse lens method, what's a good lens to use? I'd like something that would work well with my Z3 if at all possible.

I've got a z10 and find that my old md lenses fit nicley onto the end. Then I use two elastic bands to hold it on. It's very stable. With my old digital I made a proper adaptor and stuff.

I'll get pictures for you later.



I have no idea on the latest entry. IT's too dark to see it right now.

This is correct, It's a very common one for this time of the year but not one of the ones already mentioned above, if you want to guess at a type.

Ferny,

Nice to see another "Z" user here. The use of rubber bands sounds like a pretty good idea actually. I'd like to see those pics of your setup when you have time. If you also have some links to macros you've done, feel free to pass those along as well.

[themonko]

Blood lily
Red Poppy lily
Asiatic Lily

Tiger Lilly! I have some in my garden. If I'm right though, give my turn to someone else because I don't know how to do micro macro.

I really need to learn how to read! Sorry I never read that it was the one that guessed right, I just assumed that this was just a theme thread. I so budged! It's simnine's turn!

*turns red and runs to hide in the corner!
