Re: Studio Macro Rig
Wow! That is a huge amount of equipment. About the only way to value it would be to check the prices of each individual part on ebay. I checked a few items: Thorlabs breadboard $175.00 Newport rotation stage $189.00 Thorlabs GNL10 goniometer $300.00 I would be surprised, when all the parts are value...

Re: Nikon , Olympus, Meiji, Swift Focus Blocks; & Setups

This setup is stable for up to 60x M Plan Nikon objective, any slight misalignment of frames is easily corrected by Zerene Stacker. The des...

Re: Taking the 200mm micro-Nikkor Past Lifesize
I use this lens with a Raynox 250 @ f/32 on a Nikon D810 to photograph ants. I am not too worried about superb image quality, just need a decent image with as much DOF as possible. Formica glacialis, about 5 mm.

Re: Mushroom gills
Ken,
If you place these, gill side down. on paper (white or coloured, depending on gill colour) you can get some neat patterns.

Re: Worth a comparison
I tried stacking the Leitz lens onto an old Nikon 105 micro (the MF one that goes to 0.5x).
Thought it might be useful for field work to photograph ants.
Has potential.

Re: A Canon MPE-65 alternative?
On the camera, the lens was mounted in a barrel 3 cm long which had a 37 mm diam thread on the far end. The barrel simply unscrewed from the camera body. Just screwed this into a Nikon SLR lens mount that had a 37 mm female thread. Actually, it was a very slightly loose fit, just added one layer of ...
