I think I hit the limit of my reversed lens setup!

This was taken at f/32, the maximum aperture on my Sigma. I think this is the absolute most DOF I can get with this setup.

Here is a 100% crop of the image (for size comparison):

You can see the loss of detail due to the extremely high aperture. Anyways, I think this is about as good as I'm gonna get.

Thanks for looking!

I suspect that f32 you are gaining DOF but losing resolution very badly.

I agree with that.............. after about f/11 the camera and lens start to have diffraction issues and everything starts to appear soft........... at f/32 this will be even more of a problem..

I know, but you should see the DOF at f/11. It is literally not even half of one eye! This is just me trying to see how much DOF is possible. I know that smaller apertures lose detail, especially really small ones like f/32.

Good shot- you could always open the aperture a bit and try focus stacking instead :)
