All images taken with Olympus E-PL1 and above lens. Aperture 11 and ambient light except ladybug image (aperture ?). Extension tubes of 16 mm and 30 mm were used. Hand held as I don't have a macro focusing rail yet.
Brick wall, the grout line width is approximately 1 cm ~ sensor height. Resized to 25%
Detail from above.
Coltsfoot flower (resized to 25%)
Detail from above.
Ladybug, cropped.
I am pretty happy with images. Lens was cheap (used, USD 60 with postage) and so was extension tubes (USD  . Macro focusing rail did cost something like USD 35 and led ring light same so total outlay was USD 140. I did order a 12-17 mm focusing helicoid too (USD 54) but as I will need it for my DIY lens project too I won't include its cost in this macro setup. |

Helicoid did arrive today. 12-17 mm one works quite nicely. Will test tomorrow.
Macro focusing rail works ok too.
16 mm of extension tubes. Aperture 11. Resized to 25%. With macro focusing rail.

My results using the very same lens looked quite better than that.... (??)
It's lacking sharpness + contrast.

Is your copy ok? Some of the pics have a long exposure time (bad light?) which may cause some unsharpness but not all. I would expect much more from that lens.

The lens could have some haze inside. Take a strong light (LED) and shine through it from the backside a little from the side so your eyes don't look directly into the light! That usually shows that.

Yes. Weather here has been windy and overcast. I have to do something with lightning. I have cheapo Chinese led ring light but the lens is with 30 mm filter thread and I don't have a suitable adapter. |

The lens seems to be bright. Wind is problem, lightning too and I have to develop better cover for the aperture light hole. |
