Hi,
Just wanted to share a shot I took with the 645D at somewhere between 4X and 5X.

These are hoarfrost crystals that I found on my car window a few days ago.

The optical setup was, counting from camera: 645D || set of 3 extension tubes || FA*300/4 || reversing adaptor || FA 75/2.8. It looked like this:

Holy cow that's just awesome. Can you crop a bit to show even more enlargement?

Thanks for commenting, JinDesu. I forgot to post the technical details; it's shot handheld at 1/1600s, f/11 and ISO 800.

Here's a crop of the two crystals in the centre. As you can see, the depth of field is paper thin. It's hard to see which parts are actually in focus, but some crystal faces here and there are good.

Wow, it's even more amazing because your high ISO setting and it being hand held!
