When I hear my wife screaming in the kitchen.......well I quickly come back with my camera to be able to shoot the "monster" which terrifies my wife. She is no longer afraid of jumping spiders, but the "big" Zoropsis spinimana like this beautiful little male of barely 2cm still scare her.

Wow, incredible! I always have to admire these extreme macro images. Something I'd like to get into some day when I can afford an MPE65...

You can reach such magnification with a 18-55 reversed lens. Only 10€ budget.

Thank you for the tip It would be great not to have to drop 1200 EUR on an MPE 65...

I've made this one, which still be my favourite photo since my beginning, with a 18-55 reversed lens on a Nikon D3200 with internal flash an plastic diffuser clipsed on the front of the lens.

Again and again stunning shots from you MinitecaPhotographie! The Laowa lens fascinates me more and more! Even if it's a manual lens!

Helix_2648, I find AF useless for macro - 97% of my macro are MF, including my flight images. I've always found that AF spends too log hunting for the image, and that my eye focuses more precisely on exactly where I want it (usually the eye). Do you use AF for yours?

Completely agree with you, autofocus and stabilization are useless for me too.
