Title: Macro crop day Lilly
Post by: dgberg on June 25, 2012, 01:15:02 pm: Playing around in the flower beds today with my Nex 7.
Presently do not own a macro lens so I have the Canon 500D on the 70-200 2.8 attached to the Nex 7 via the novaflex adapter.

I find it more than adequate for my infrequent macro work.

It can be a bit hard to get sharp images without a tripod, but here's a snap from the other day without the TC:

That dof can really get razor thin at times.

To reveal beauty unseen or overlooked is something photography can do so well.
