Red Velvet Mite, Trombidiidae

    I just took delivery of an MP-E 65mm. … Up to now I’ve been using the EF-S 60mm macro combined with Closeup lenses and Extension tubes. So I tought I may as well throw myself in at the deep end and try and shoot x5 magnification with my new baby…

    The best reference I could find for these little guys is they are Red Velvet Mite, Trombidiidae. The first two images are shot x5 and resized to 1024 accross. The last two at about x3, cropped on each side then resized to 1024 high.

    Thanks

    OMG!!!!! this is a for standard camera images, not microscope images!! BANNED!!!

    seriously, wow! this is one of the best macro series ever, if only because the subject is absolutely miniscule. Well done. you should send these into some magazines.

    Thanks for the comments Guys.

    Noley.
    I think Canon are the only company to make such a lense. I’ve never heard of an adapter either. I presume for mounting on a Nikon.

    To put the these into perspective. Here is an image of a ruler x5 magnification. The first and second image above were not cropped. Neither was this below. Approx 3mm top to bottom. :wink:
