Thanks. I am also quite amazed at the resolution of this lens at macro distances and also at the complete lack of chromatic aberrations. It is a top notch performer on APS-C sensors - quite remarkable for an optic that is 38-40 years old, depending on its actual manufacture date. It is definitely my go to lens for anything that is 3x lifesized or more. When I ordered it I wondered if I was being foolishly loyal to Pentax, since enlarger lenses are generally recommended for this kind of work. But I think it was a good choice.

That 24mm is really something. Not often a lens not specifically designed for macro work is that sharp at that distance.

You did a lovely job with it.

Been a while since I did one of these stacked macros. Put this together Friday and Saturday using a subject that was collected a few weeks ago:
