Hi Guys,
Just to show you that you do not allways need an expensive lens to make great macro shots i'd thought i would post this photograph of a Grey Fleshfly i shot last spring.
It was taken using a reversed 50mm F1.8 coupled to a plastic camera-cap with some super-glue and using two extension tubes for more enlargement.The lens was bought for 50 cents at a local flee-market and has been my buddy in macro technique for many years with some great results!
So you see, its also possible to get some decent results using a 50 cents worth lens!
Greetings,
Jeroen Stel
