I tried out the set-up, using an A520: the results are surprising.

A 5p piece:

The rest of the practice shots are here: http://www.flickr.com …evilkenevil/set​s/1579875/ (external link) Have a look at the large sizes, I'm amazed they turned out so well.

Hello Evil Ken. I agree, It looks as though your A520 is very capable with this set up. Nice sharp edge on that 5p coin. ;)
BTW, WELCOME to the forum. :D

Looks like you really have a lot of do-it-yourself fun with the A70.
Keep it up!

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and am instantly amazed this being the first thread I have read. What an amazing set up with the A70. I too have the A520, though I do not have a macro lense just yet. This is a brilliant site! :)

Fantastic photo's!

I'm trying the same with a S2iS and an old 50mm 1:1.8 Canon FD lens but I'm still in the beginning of the learning curve :)

Your photo's tell me that I'm on the right track! Thanks a lot.

One of my examples.

Hello, i´m really new to this forum and to photo in General. This might be a "stupid" question but i have to make it. I am really impressed with this samples i´m watching here, and i would like to know is:

Does the Canon Adapter Tube B-52 work on a Canon Powershot A400?

Megaweb said that it would work for all A series of Canon does that include my Camera too?

Thanks.

I have a quick question on the slave flash. With my Canon A85 setup exactly like Megaweb, I could not get the slave flash to fire even though the internal flash was reflected upwards. (The slave flash was tested on a different L bracket and works.) I am using an L bracket which was slightly modified to have the slave flash pointed at 45 degrees angle. Does anyone have any idea?

Wow, those pictures are really wonderful. I use an A620 and already have the converter tube for filters, lenses, etc.
How would I go about doing something like this with an A620 and the converter, which gives me a 58mm thread?
