Macro Shots

How close can we get?

Was photographing using both the Rollei and the Leica Macro lenses for real close up shots. The results were amazing as sharpness and color reproduction from these top quality lens were expected. Shot both in JPEG and RAW.

This highly magnified shot of a red ball point pen was taken with a bellow extension set using an old lens from my old SLR camera.

This two shots of wild flowers (below) were taken with the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 ASPH macro lens (micro 4/3 format)

With a special adaptor, the lens fitted to the micro four-third camera perfectly.

Here is some pictures taken with the Leica macro lens.

Completed

Finally, in Place.

Still working on my new Panasonic Lumix DMC GH2. As there is a World shortage of this camera including its accessories, I managed to get my hands on the most sought after (std) lens today.

The original lens that came with the camera was the 14~42mm which has dismayed many because being a flagship camera for Lumix many expected better.
The actual lens should be the 'special' HD lens the 14~140mm which is meant for Video shooting. Yes it would cost more but who is complaining when the GH2 is actually a professional camera?

Here is my line up.

[The GH2 is now fitted with the 14~140mm HD lens, the Leica 45mm macro for extreme close-ups (left) and the 'bird shooter' is the 45~200mm (right).] These are all Micro Four Third lenses.

Now, it is completed.

I go shoot yah?
