Macro Photos - ever try this?

PH01 · 2004-09-16 15:42:49

Ever try this? Back in the days when I had an OM10 I use to, for the laugh, take 'really' close-up macro photos. I achieved this by unhooking my 35\105 telephoto lens from the body of the camera and turning it around. Kinda like looking through binoculars the wrong way around. This means that you can get huge magnification…

This means that you can get huge magnification on a subject as long it's within a 20cm - 60cm of the inverted lens.
Great for taking pictures of something very small like an ant, or something similar.
Of cource, you'll have no control over the depth of field and focus is done by moving the camera back and forth, but great fun on a boring day.
