Viola Macro

[rhermans]

One of my colleges came in this morning with viola plant for his mother.
So during dinner break 1 spend some time getting a macro of one of them.

A quick stack of 20 images with the xe-1, 18-55 mm at 55mm and 42mm extention tube (10 + 16 + 16)
The change in focus was done by turning the focus ring, I'm rather happy with the result.

And here it is, slightly cropped so you get a view about 2:1 macro of a viola.

Join to see EXIF info for this image (if available)

Good result, which brand of extension tubes did you use?

Thans Len,

Here I used a 16mm , 10mm from fotga and a 16mm from viltrox. I've gotten all extension tubes they sell on ebay and to be honest half of them work (almost).
I had to take all of them apart and fitted them together so 1 really have an extention tube of 42 that works.

I'm still hoping to find good tubes ... maybe that Fui would make them?

Cheers

Ronny
