Re: Fly- and bee-eyes...
Impressive magnification factor. What type of 28 mm lens did you use here ?

I was using an old but very sharp manual E lens.

Hey Stany - are you still using your flash system for macros?
I am thinking of getting one and wondered if you still love yours?

Yes I do.If I would buy such again I would go for the sigma 140 macro flash though. Had that set on my Canon5D and it was easier to use.James wrote:Hey Stany - are you still using your flash system for macros?I am thinking of getting one and wondered if you still love yours?
While high iso image quality went up, less and less flash is needed, curious for D4 and D700 successor.

Re: Fly- and bee-eyes...
Thanks for the advice Stany, I have a metz mc15 which is similar to the Sigma I think. I was looking for something that produces less shadows though, the thing I like about the Nikon kit is that you can add more flashes. I guess it then gets very expensive though.
With regards to the higher ISO performance - I completely agree but mentally it is taking some adjustment for me, you've had 3 or 4 years of not worrying about ISO below 3200, I'm only just getting there

The Nikon macro flash set is approx € 600 but you find them quite often in second hand sites...
With D700 the max I was using for macro where I cared about the result was iso 1600.James wrote:With regards to the higher ISO performance - I completely agree but mentally it is taking some adjustment for me, you've had 3 or 4 years of not worrying about ISO below 3200, I'm only just getting there
