Today, I adapted my lens by "stacking" another lens with it in order to gain greater magnification. This is the result.
I had been capturing an area about 22mm wide with my previous setup. Now I'm getting about 8-9mm (with a little cropping due to an unfortunate vignette effect).
This is a shot of the fibers of Mimi's winter cap up close. I think that large white line is a dog hair, courtesy of Dash. What you find as you look at smaller and smaller things, is that there are no sharp and hard lines. Everything is a rounded edge at some lower limit, and it sometimes makes for difficult edge clarity in a shot like this.
These fibers appear to be oval, and semi-translucent, making them show up less sharp than I would like. Though this could also be an undesirable effect of my stacked lens which would not be present in a far better lens.
EDIT: OK, so I have an edit to this one. Not only was I wrong about the material (it's acrylic), but I was wrong about its ownership (it's Violet's). The hat, however, is still actually blue-green.
Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
