All pictures were taken with Pentax K100D with Tamron 90/2.8 and extension tubes.

This is my macro setup

**rparmar** · 12-14-2009, 03:21 PM

Now that is some ingenuity! So ugly... well done.

yeatzee · 12-15-2009, 01:49 PM

wow! How do you change the settings on the flash?

I can't tell by the picture, is the Tamron in their somewhere?

With the lens reversed, how much does changing the aperture affect DOF?

edit: i assume you are focus stacking also?

WOW,WOW and WOW!!

Good lesson for us : power of skill over "poor" equipment. No need to buy costly stuffs to make wonderful pictures. I'm in the process of buying a DFA 100mm WR, now it makes me wonder....

**WPRESTO** · 10-08-2010, 06:22 AM

Absolutely stunning! You both intimidated and inspired my own efforts at macro.

Pablom · 10-08-2010, 09:28 AM

holly crap that's close! these are really great!

Just found this thread while looking for information on how to use extension tubes.

grzehoofr, your Macro pictures are simply stunning..!!!!

Reason I was looking for information is that I just bought an old Takumar 500mm f4.5 together with a bundle of odds and ends throw in. And hello, part of it was a set of extension tubes (PK/A 13mm, 21mm, 31mm).

Your thread is now a fantastic tutorial for me of how to really make good use of them. Thank-you and thank-you again..!

Regards
Kevin
