Well I got my linear stage today, but sadly didn't have time to set anything up legitimately. I spent most of my time trying to figure out how to use it/put it together/how to attach the camera
Here's a quicky with a dead bee I found, only about 30 images stacked. The setup was a reversed Pentax F 28mm F/2.8 reversed on extension tubes. I could have easily used my favorite reversed 50mm prime to get this magnification but I decided to use a setup I consider my worst to see whats what with the newport stage
The 28mm was at F/4 I believe... anyways heres the shot.
The subject is very dirty, and combine zm had a lot of trouble with the intricate hairs, but overall im pleased
edit: Heres a larger version for you guys to see all of the horrible faults with the image :shock:
