Olympus E-M1 + Oly 60mm f/2.8
60mm + 26mm extension tubes, f/2.8, 1/20s, ISO-200.
I recently bought a used Oly 60mm f/2.8 macro lens and wanted to see how crisp it is at f/2.8 (f/5.6 effective aperture). this is with 26mm of extension tubes added, so 1.43x magnification. I'm quite impressed with how sharp this thing is at f/2.8. These images have been slightly touched up in Darktable.
Those are some damn sharp images. Good tripod work!
Thanks. I'm not much of a tripod user, I prefer freehand, but this was a fun exercise. I plan on learning focus bracketing at some point, so I'll need to master using it effectively.
Yeah focus bracketing/stacking just seems like such a massive pain to actually do. The results are nice, but it just doesn't justify the time expenditure for me lol.
I'm also not huge on tripods, but they certainly are a huge help when you want a sharp macro with a high f stop. I try to get the best of both worlds and bring a little bitty tripod with me when I hand shoot, just in case.
No way he had a Rinnegan
How else do you think he was able to manipulate electricity?
Someone tried telling me it was science or some nerd shit, but I knew better.
