Looks quite nice to me, especially for such cheap lenses.
Please tell which lens you did use for each photo. By the way did you use only one at a time or several ones on top of each other ?
And can you show more please ?
Thank you, I also believe it is not too bad considering the price of the filters. I used the 20-50 stock kit lens with all, near the narrowest edge, and with the smallest aperture the natural light would permit.
I tried stacking the filters; although they didn't have problems with vignetting, especially near the narrow end I was using, the quality loss was too much even for me. It is bearable if you stack two low-diopter ones, but there is not much point in that, unless you are aiming for an exact value. And the high diopter ones stacked together really take their toll on the image quality.
I was never able to get the videos I wanted to, as I am not used to, or equipped for shooting macro videos with such a big camera. It felt like threading the needle with a barge rope.
I generally use 808's with macro lenses, which can practically go through anywhere, and can be mounted anywhere (19gr's of goodness)... This is what I usually get out of 808#16 with a macro lens: (please bear in mind, the pictures are mere frame grabs from a 720p video and they also have a lot of motion blur as those buggers move fast)
I am sure some people would know what kind of a fly this is. So don't ask me what I had to endure for the shot
Jumping spider if I am not mistaken...
Yep, that is a mosquito...
An ant in it's full glory...
I honestly don't know what this one is, but it was trying to find it's way into my house...
So until I get that kind of magnification, with some convenience, NX2000 is only good for photos, in a staged environment, that is as far as I am concerned... I am planing to enslave some of these little friends briefly and try focus stacking with the NX2000 though...
