Hey Jody!! Beautiful eyes!!

Thought I'd mention that at your inspiration my own sigma 150 arrived a couple days ago, and the adapters had arrived the previous week, so as soon as there's a day where the bugs come back, I'll see how well I do!

In any case, the sigma is fantastic, easily the nicest quality lens I own! Thank you for your input and these inspiring images!!!

I have to ask...
...are you using AF or manual focus?? I cannot get over how you nailed the focus on these extremely limited dof shots. I would've wished for something other than a white bg or fg, but dayum these just blow me away!

wow, really nice pictures... I just picked up a tamron 90mm, extension tubes and going to pick up an adapter ring... hopefully I'll find some jumping spiders

Excellent closeups Jody - amazing colours and eye detail
Shows you don't need an MPE-65 for excellent quality high power shots.

Hells Bells!

I am lost for words!

I got a jumping spider photo today, which pales into insignificance to these!


Congrats.
