Macro on a budget at £50

Before Samsung released the 60mm Macro I decided to have a go with my old PK mount lenses and a set of Chinese stppo extension tubes. The image here was using my Pentax M f2 (old kit lens) and the extension tubes on my NX10. Interestingly the challenge with Macro is getting enough depth of field. This image is taken using f22 the only way of getting enough depth of feild however the the amount of defraction must be considerable.

Any comments or questions welcome

The lens is worth £40 and the Tubes £10 - macro on a budget.

House Fly 5mm 1/13 f22 ISO200

All the best
