Is image #3 the tail or dorsal fin? Quite interesting.
Yes, How do I figure what I have here, is it 1:1 magnification, or what?

Your Nikon sensors are just about 24-mm wide, so at 1:1 magnification, you should capture a quarter edge-to-edge. If you see more than edge-to-edge, like yours, then you have captures just less than 1:1 mag. This is only true if you did not re-focus lens between photos.

Doug, here's a quarter 1st is just the 105mm other is with 68mm kenko tubes. The lens is an old Micro-nikkor 105mm - 1:28, 207639. I thought the 105 could take 1:1

Set your lens to Minimum Focusing Distance. Now move camera & lens as a unit, in-&-out towards subject. When in focus, taker your photo. You should capture quarter edge-to-edge, which will be 1:1 mag (life-size).

Your first image looks like 1:2 mag (1/2 life-size). Your second image looks like 3/4 x 24-mm = 18-mm wide = 1.5:1 mag (1.5x life-size).that's how I took those 2 shots ( lens to Minimum Focusing Distance).

Notice the "Limit/Full" slide switch. Must be on "Full" to reach 1:1 mag.

To find 1:1 magnification (or close), I suggest shooting test images of quarter with only 12-mm Extension Tube; then 20-mm tube; then 36-mm tube.
