Seen in order:
- pink phlox
- Japanese anemone buds
- emerging flowers of a Hosta
- turtlehead
- ripening tomato
The DFA 645 90mm 2.8 macro is a fabulous lens, but doesn't allow close
enough focussing for the really small stuff. So I ordered a set of
used extension tubes (Pentax Auto Extension Tube-A 645) from a dude in
Japan and received them quite quickly, on Thursday. After some quick
tests I figured the best way to test these out properly was to train
them on some plant life. The extension tubes were created well before
the Z and so only some features function. There's no AF, but the
aperture works.
All shots taken with the 645z, DFA 90mm 2.8 macro. Most are at f:4.0,
800 ISO, but the tomato is at f:16, and the turtleheads are at f:8.0.
All shots lit by filtered sunlight. Turtleheads and tomato I diffused
with a 5-in-1 reflector silk because full sun. I also added a small
gold reflector to the tomato to warm that up and add fill.
[I haven't used Google Plus for some time and needed a place to stash
this gallery, so I gave it a try again. Let me know if this fails to
work for you.]
