Re: Peony

Really nice, thanks for sharing. It's interesting to see the different lenses you're using, as well. Interesting thing about this flower is that the blossoms change color as they mature. When I read this I immediately imagined a timelapse of focus-stacked images. It would make for a lovely movie, I...

I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cambo actus is..
for <2x my Cambo setup works quite well.. and I am mainly concentrating on flowers.

for insects >2x to 10x.. I do use Mity metallurgic microscope lenses and a breadboard setup.
