Hello all,
after spending a lot of hours in the last months here to read great articles/tips, i made now also an account
my goal ist macro photography with 10:1 and larger.
after taking "normal macros", adding extension rings and changing to the great MP-E 65, i start now with a mitutoyo 20x to get much more magnification :-)
the first "quick and dirty" tests were frustrating, but after changing some equipment, it is going in a good direction
since i sold my professional equipment (Canon 5D MK III, L-Lenses, ...) after stopping professional photography (studio/on location), i change to a useful kamera, the Olympus OM-D E-M1.
much more fun with this lightweight part
i hope, the M1 will also deliver good quality pictures with the microscope lens (not still shure if u4/3 is a good choice)
currently i use the M1, a lot of extension tubes, the raynor DCR-250, a lot of thread-adapter to mount the Mitutoyo on it
stack hardware will be build in the next months (my second hobby, cnc milling/drilling gg)
adding yongnou with honeycomb brougth me the first "useful" image.
but i think it will be a very very long way for good results
the appended picture is a single shot, no cropping
of an old good eeprom gg
