Macro work examples to compare with my poor micro images on the Micro forum - posted today

Post by NewForestTel »

For some years I have been a member but in recent years I have not had the courage to post my images.
Until now I have concentrated on “extreme macro” work with insects and have done most of my work with either a Canon EOS 1D Mk4 (full frame) or a Canon M6 Mk2 (cropped frame)
The lenses I have used are Canon MPE 65mm or Canon 100mm Macro f2.8 with the 1D Mk4.
And Laowa 2.5-5x or the Canon 100mm Macro f2.8 with the Canon M6 Mk2.
Some of the work has been manual Stack and Stitch (SnS)
Yesterday I tried using a microscope objective with disastrous results (see my post on the Micro Forum)
For purposes of showing my macro work I have posted three images on the Macro forum today but my question relates to the post on the Micro Forum
I have always used Zerene Stacker Pro for my stacking work and am used to Slabbing and the associated retouching.

These images are really nice. Good to know someone besides myself is using a 1DM4. It doesnt have ESFC but it does have silent mode where the mirror will lockup for continuous shoots. The 1DM4 actually has a APS-H sensor with 1.3 crop factor.

Thanks Marcepstein
I agree the 1D MK4 suits my needs to date very well and if I sold it I would get little for it. Thanks again
