Hi All,

Got the three ring extension set (by Kenko) delivered today.

Nice little kit and so did a quick couple of shots (handheld) with all three rings and a Sigma 105mm macro lens. Results below.

First shot is a diagram on a page, very narrow DOF. Second shot is of an English one pence piece.

Cheers

Ian

Nice macro shots.
You must try to get an ant running inside the DOF lane :)

Don't you just love the lack of DoF with this stuff? :twisted:

You have to appreciate the people who go out and get bugs at 2:1.

Nice shots. That DOF is incredibly tight.

I actually found myself resorting to tripod, slow shutters, and tiny apertures when I started using my macro tube.
