First Macro shots, ever!
Lens: FA43 / FA20-35 Camera: K-7 
Posted By: hoopsontoast, 08-06-2013, 11:52 AM

First Macro shots using a KAX MC7 Macro TC, never done any Macro photography at all!

Stone roughly 2" across [FA 43mm]



Closest focus [FA 43mm]



Pentax FA 43mm Lens [FA 20-35mm @ 24mm]



Edicron 845 Tube [FA 43mm]



Swatch Watch [FA 43mm]




Greek Basil plant (flower ~10mm across) [FA 43mm]



And another at closest focus (again this flower is 10mm across) [FA 20-35mm @ 20mm]



I think the FA20-35 is as good as the FA43 if not slightly better, although @20mm and 1:1 its basically touching the subject with the UV filter!

Wow, you are really on your way to macro photography, all are crisp clear shots with nice texture and colors. Congrats

Cheers, they are not sharp @ 100% but maybe I am expecting a bit too much with the cheap KAX MC7 convertor.
