Thanks, FrumCA. It's a lot easier with a deceased specimen than it is with a live one moving around.

Lol!

Cindy, I can walk among them on my walkabouts in the fields and they pay no attention to me. I get tagged by them around the house several times each summer. The most painful was getting tagged on the top of my head.


Ouch

Wow Sippy, this is a real treat to see the equipment you use to get these incredible images.


Thanks, FiddleMaker. The entire setup (less the camera) is far less expensive than a 105mm f/2.8 macro lens alone.

Whoa! Amazing work, here.
That's a serious macro setup, too.

Thanks, George. It's nice that you could stop by.

Sippy, including the impressive rail base as well ? I see you are using a Fujifilm camera, but I cannot tell if it one of the medium format models. I have an X-T2, but I have a problem getting familiar with the menu system. But the build quality is superb. I was so impressed with your set-up that I saved the image to my desktop and show folks that might stop by the house and see your insect photos. Also, on my desktop is an image of a MacIntosh model 275 power amp because I love seeing those vacuum tubes all lit up.

Another outstanding focus stacked insect! I frequently view your amazing focus stacked images on the forum (although I rarely comment) and I've often wondered what kind of a set-up you have to get these incredibly interesting images. So, thanks for showing us your rig. ....and keep posting those shots that you're taking!

FiddleMaker, the camera that I use for these sessions is the Fujifilm X-T20 and it works well for me. It too is well built and I'm pushing 200,000 images on it with no signs of stopping.

This is a focus-stacked image of one of my preserved paper wasps. Their face reminds me of the devil and each time that I get tagged by one, I'm sure that they flew up through the cracked earth from the bowels of hell.

The session was an experiment of pushing the limits of a 50mm enlarger lens beyond the 4X-magnification that I can get on extended bellows alone.

I measured the magnification at 6.3X from the reversed mounted 50mm enlarger lens mounted on a section of extension tube connected to a Raynox DCR-150 used as a tube lens extended 208mm from the camera sensor. I've attached an image of the tabletop macro rig showing the working distance of the subject. The diffusion for the illumination is removed to reveal the wasp staged before the camera.

Great shot of all the eyes.
