New to the forum. My name is Terry. Love all aspects of photography. This was one of my first attempts to shoot a macro using my reversed 55mm at 2.8 on my 150-300 (300mm focused at inifinity) at 5.6. I have not purchased a flash for this camera at this point, thus the high ISO. It was next to impossible to even focus even in bright afternoon light due to looking through the 2 lenses that were coupled. The loaded jpeg image is around 285KB. The original file was a 70 MP DNG. Handheld. I plan to get better and post better images. Need to procure a good macro rail and flash system, which I have been researching. I actually purchased the camera for doing landscapes, but can't help myself. I really love macro.

That is certainly a very high level of magnification. Good one!

Thank you K20 to K50! I think the magnification is roughly 5.45X life size on the 645Z sensor. Now I just need to convince my wife that I need a couple more lenses, flash, and macro rails so I can step up my game.

One heck of an exemplary first try effort. Most impressive and looking forward to more of your awesome work. Many thanks for sharing.
