Micro Newby here

Post by xmachiavellianx »

Hey guys, super new here. I have been reading a lot about micro here and wanted to attempt to start shooting. I am not 100% sure on how to get an objective lens to fit my camera if it's even possible with the gear i have? Would a microscope be a better option? I plan on stacking photos for that extra high resolution. Also my main purpose would be shooting plants. I have seen some really cool shots with the Mitutoyo BD Plan 20x all the way to the 50x. I'm looking to spend under 1,000 if possible.

Anyway if anyone is willing to help that'd be awesome thank you and nice to be here :)

Camera: Nikon d3300
flash: SB 700

xmachiavellianx, welcome aboard!

To begin, see the FAQ: How can I hook a microscope objective to my camera?

Note that this is a long thread. The information gets less dense later on, but it's probably worth reading all 6 pages.
