Well, after seeing some of you guys and your AMAZING macro shots, I decided to dip my feet in the water. Bought a Quantaray 28mm f/2.8 and a reverse mount adapter to see if this would be something I could get into or not. What do ya'll think? Any advice??

Some very nice shots! The razor blade looks particularly dangerous...

I am not a macro photography expert but looking at some of your shots I feel like getting a dedicated macro lens would mean lot's of fun.

Preciate the comments. I have always wanted to get into macro photography. LordV's photos always seem to inspire me Seems pretty fun so far. Maybe the next step will be to rent and play with an MPE-65 :lol:
