Scratchbuilt Macro lens

[Sangennaru]

Hello LAFers!

Recently i bought some LED rings, and i made a macro lens to photograph my models. I really should have done it a long time ago, it works splendidly!

Just some LAF only photos:

That was before, slighly edited:


and that was after!! NOT edited, and even with the wrong environmental lights. But still much much better for a 15mm.


And i am sure that with an appropriate tripod an light the results could be awesome.

Fantastic! All I need is to find someone who's throwing a slide projector away. Seriously though, I love a bit of scavenging/salvaging, and this is a real great build idea. Great work!

Not all of us have Facebook, however. So your posts here are appreciated too.

Facebook notifies only a smal portion of the fans for each update, so it is NOT an alternative to the forum. I decided to expand my territories because with fb i can reach non-forum users, but it will be kept parallel to forums!

Ah, some first experiments with the macro with actual minis:
those are tiny 15mm, eh!
