Sorry, what I meant was that I could not get enough of the bee in the shot !
I have a 10x Nikon objective and various nikkor lenses reversed on the 200mm so I can do 4x to 10x

Great Carpenter Bee
So I got my WeMacro rail and have done a couple of stacks, here's the first. Using the Proxxon table vertically now with a mini ball head as vertical stage. This bee is approx. 1 inch / 25mm so even using the 55 micro nikkor reversed on 200mm f4 only got me this https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3830/33...

I feel your pain ! but in this case the end result is definitely worth it. When you say those pics are "before" and "after", do you mean before and after post processing or is one the straight stack and one the slabbed then stacked result ? What software do you use to do your slabbing ? I try and fr...

When you have some time, go here: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19756&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 for the DOF Two Ways spreadsheet, and experiment. Alter the "pixels per C of C" number (set to 2.5 originally I think) around. If you have to set it to some number like 8, ...

re: the 55 micro
Yeah it's a 55 micro, but it is also my adjustable vertical stage ! :D but yes I have used it and it works well. I shall take your advice on board, I can never find the table on here that shows diffraction limits at various mags. Once my objective arrives, I'll have super sharp 5x (using the 105/2.5...

Works well :) . I notice several (on flickr if not here) say "pano". Are these (side by side) stitched pics? With these subjects/optics, .... is it just a gap in your magnifications? Yes, some of the shots are 2 shots stitched together in LR CC but usually 1 above the other to get eyes and mouth pa...

What does H. C. mean? The H is the number of glass elements ie 6 and the C denotes it has multi-coating glass - ie it is later than the H but it was made before the AI and Ai-S series which had multi-coatings as standard. It's one of the old metal scalloped focus ring nikkors. It's the one on the f...
