Macro Testing

Email Moz

New camera (Canon 30D) plus I've finally got my other gear back so I can play with the 500D close focus lens. Hence these test shots. Started with just the 500D, then added macro extension tubes in order. Not much depth of feild so the focus is a bit iffy sometimes, sorry but it's hard to do this one handed.

500D only +12mm tube 20mm tube 32mm tube (12+20) 36mm tube 48mm (36+12) 56mm (36+20) 68mm (36+20+12) tape measure at minimum focus distance with all extension tubes (68mm) and 500D, at 200mm tape measure at minimum focus distance with all extension tubes (68mm) and 500D, at 200mm test setup. Mostly I moved the cactus to focus rathre than moving the camera. that's close to 1:1 macro, with reasonable separation between subject and lens.
