I think you made me forget about extension tubes and such. I love your photos. Now I got to convince the wife that this lens, the 28mm macro, will be the last for my new M5.
I love that lens with the M3 and now the M5. The sharpness, contrast and particularly the colour rendition impress me every time I play around with it. A quick word of caution to the OP, jannacis. I have to use flash for a lot (but not all) of those shots, I don't think the M10 has a hotshoe or built in flash.
I'd still recommend the 28mm though. Lighting for macro is a bugger and I've learned a lot from playing around with the built in LED's in that lens.
One day I should write a guide on what I've found works with that lens but the TLDR version would read something like this:
- Use M mode, f13 and 1/200s shutter speed
- Set the LED lights to full and use the pop up flash on the camera
- Turn on IS
- Roughly pre-focus at macro working distance
- Stick your camera right in the face of an unsuspecting bug
- Use the LCD touch shutter, tap on the bug's eye
- Get the shot before the bug figures out what's going on and runs away
- Ignore any/all of the previous points if the situation calls for something else
Thanks for the list of tips. It gives one a base to operate from. I hope the critters will pose as nicely for me as they do for you.
