Non insect macros anyone?

August 11. Lithuanian forest.

A Good Read....

Weed in the yard.
Didn't notice the eggs until I looked through the viewfinder,
The largest flower is only about 1/16th inch across.

Found this pictoresque piece of a feather (?) sitting on my lawn

Absolutely love the colors, the shallow focus and even the background.
Curious about the "sensor dust-worm" up in the corner though. It's almost too sharp a line to be a dirty sensor. Am I wrong?

Hi!,
this was taken with the EF 35-80mm with the front element removed, it can achive more than 1:1 macro. Perhaps it was dust in the middle elements

Hibiscus pollen captured using the Laowa 25mm ultramacro lens at 5x magnification, plus a 25mm extension tube. Focus stack using Zyrene Stacker.

Beautiful!
The magnificent micro world we don't get to see unless like this.

Very nice indeed

Thanks very much Richard! I don't put this lens on the camera very often, but it always produces something interesting when I do

Here is a cropped version of my previous image, showing more detail in the pollen grains (including the little spikes on the surface). The diameter of these pollen grains is approximately 120 µm, which means that those spikes are only about 5µm in length!
Incredible, really

Great shots. Wanted that lens, but went with the 2x instead.

Thanks! How are you finding the 2X? I was tempted by that as well...

I like it a lot, can't say "love" just yet. It was bought to replace the canon 100mm, it broke twice in less than a year & was not paying for another repair. I used the canon w/ tubes for 1x-2x ability, with great results. Even the nifty fifty + tubes (1x) gave me wonderfully sharp images. The issue is diffraction (I think). All my macro work w/ the canon glass was usually at f/18, I stay around f/11-f/13 w/ the Laowa.

It sure does cover a lot of ground. I loose "infinity" with the tubes on, but that allows me a range of approximately .5x-3x. Another reason I chose it over the 2.5x-5x is usage. You can never have too much magnification but I know I would not use it nearly as often as the 2x.

Rust and web...
