Cat flea

Current project (wife says "Obsession") is to get my MF 105mm Nikon Micro Nikkor to behave like Canon's MP-E 65mm.
Best I can do for now is to add a 50mm f1.8 Canon, reversed, onto the 105.
Home-made slide prep. of a cat flea, 105mm at f14, 4 images stacked with Helicon Focus:

Bravo!

It looks almost like a hand made painting.

An excellent image Tony. the combo seems to be working great. welcome to the forums and we welcome your Obsession. (my wife says the same thing

) I love the spikes on the flea. It looks good enough to post in the micro forum.

Cool shot, Tony.
As a recent kitten owner, however, this shot makes me a little nervous.

Aha! I see you got the uploading to work.

This image is excellent. Let's see now...homemade slide prep, 50mm lens reversed on the end of a 105mm, focus stacked with Helicon Focus...yep, I'd say you've come to the right place to hang out!
