PS: I want input on the macro ratio? What is it in reality?
Ok, I don't know how to compute it so it can't be 10:1 but this is a high magnification ratio that I wasn't expect to shoot at. I'm glad that I can take nice shot at this magnification.
All shots are taken with this setup:
- Tamron 2.5/28, Reversed @f:16
- 52-49mm step down ring
- 52mm reverse macro adapter
- Full expanded macro belows
- Canon EOS 5D@M, 1/200, ISO changed between 50-200
- Sunpak 422D from left side triggered with Cactus V2s
- Sunpak 433D from left side triggered with Cactus V2s
With this setup the distance betwen the lens start point and the body is likely 14cm. Focus adjustment was made by moving camera fort and back by hand so precision is not that good, I need to buy a 4 way macro base like this one:
These samples are original sized images, there isn't any crop but I've made done slight exposure modification, sharpness increased from 4 to 5-6 in some shots, and in some slight contrast boosting.
This electronic component is just 4mm!

Yalcin,
The easiest way to get "magnification" is to shoot a ruler in your home
in the same setting. There is a formula for macro magnification, forget it.

From the rear element to the circuit board, it is something like 45mm.

OK, let's asume this is a fullframe shot of your 5D.
The height of the 5D's sensor is about 24mm, right?
This means your macro ratio is about 6.8:1.

Very nice... I'd like to see what my limits are. But as you say, you really need one of those 4-way bases to make life so much easier. And they're fairly expensive for what at least appears to be such a simply constructed thing :-p

Looked like a cool setup and a lead for my DSLR manual macro pursuit but maybe not practical for field portability. Thanks for sharing.
