Exactly--and a fine lens, too.

I really nailed this snail. Voigtlander 180mm close-focus plus Raynox 150; 13 file stack.

Scan from a Ektachrome slide. Probably my MX or LK and 100mm macro. This is a double exposure. First shot focused on flowr. Second one the focus was shifted a bit to give "the glow". Joe

It doesn't get much better than this beautiful summer morning. All shot with a K3II and the 100mm Macro.

K-50 and an Adaptall Tamron 90mm without teleconverter handheld in the wind

I haven't spent long with this lens yet but from my use so far I'm enjoying it! I've a lot to learn about macro photography.
