Extreme macro using Tair 3S and unknown laser lens

[Smoli4]

the first round are shot with a SMC Takumer 50mm @ f16:

a Toothbrush (i use if for cleaning dust from video cards and cpu coolers)


an Old CPU


cant remember how this bug is called


this is our local 2 euro eqv coin about the same size as a 1 euro coin btw



Now, these are shot with the Tair 3s (MC) @ f22 i used this big laser in front for me to be able to focus close. (the same as with the 50mm takumar)

toothbrush



an old CPU

here you can see the dust


A grain of salt (this called rough salt here it the slightly bigger grain kind)


The bug

Why did you select a 300mm tele lens for macro ?

[IAZA]

sometimes, harder action is more fun
I used nikon 200/4 stacked with reversed canon fd 55/1,2 ssc to get extreme macro. not recommended LOL not easy to focus

[martyn_bannister]

Be interesting to focus stack some frames with the Tair to get some DOF thicker than 1 nano meter

I have trouble focusing my Tair on infinity !

That's very impressive.

is this the time to say i shot all these hand held, And i was holding that huge laser lens infront of the tair...

I guess i used this 300mm because i used that laser lens for the close focus\macro effect, and my 500mm mirror lens was performing really crappy since i couldnt step it down, and the only next candidate was the Tair 3s

ill post a pic of how this whole thing looked like soon

I plan to study about it.....

I have used my Tair 300mm (photosniper) for close ups of critters by using extension tubes and worked great for some video footage of Bees flying! sturdy tripod needed but you can get pretty close using the tubes .
Would be great for dragonflies over ponds etc
