For this shot I used 2 Olympus Zuiko lenses, 50mm and 35mm, with the front lenses taped together (since I don't have a reversing ring) and then attached to a Fuji X-E1 with an adapter. This challenge comes a little too early because I'm working on adapting an (old) bellows device for Fuji lenses.

Looking forward to the postings. I'm out since I don't have a macro lens. I can do a close-up only.

OK, I had to be creative to figure how to do macro w/o proper lens or extension tubes. Subject is a Christmas Cactus.

I held my Nikon D750 w/ 35mm lens up to two different lenses and held it all together, as follows:
This first photo is shot through a projection lens and I got a bit of magnification but softer.
Second photo is shot through a large desktop photo magnifying loupe for greater magnification and clarity.

Well this was timely, just returned from a camping trip on the BRP to practice on macros of the wildflowers.

These two were taken in a hotel room because we were traveling home from vacation when I saw the challenge. The first is a detail from a coffee collar. The second is a detail from a painting. It was hand held so not real sharp.

I’m not at home this weekend so this will have to do! It’s peak lupine season up here along the coast of northern Maine.
