HugoMorse Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Excellent photo and very humorous. I am not sure the fly thinks so, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamski Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 What camera did you use to take this picture. Ive never seen such a clear maco shot before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTon Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) Pentax K10D SIGMA 105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro, Kenko extension tubes (12+20+36 mm) f/9.5 0.7 sec. ISO 400 Tripod Wireless shutter release I took 30-odd shots, and this was the only one that yielded the desired result - getting the focus on the fly's eye. I don't have a macro rail yet, so you can imagine how frustrating it was having to move the whole tripod/camera rig to get the correct focusing distance, which at this magnification was a matter of millimeters.

FlytrapRanch Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 SIGMA 105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro That Sigma 105mm macro is an excellent lens. They make a four-thirds mount version of the lens, so I bought one for my Olympus E-510 digital SLR camera. Absolutely excellent lens. Great photo! Thanks for sharing it.
