Back to Macro

[andythilo]

Finally returned to macro with my G9 and Olympus 60mm. First impressions are good but have extension tubes and a Raynox 250 on the way. Flash currently is a Olympus STF-8 but I may or may not keep it (also waiting on a diffuser that I need to cut) so currently using the stock diffusers.

Using manual focus only but the focus peaking is amazing. Lots to test and learn

First shots, bare lens and flash only

All looks good to me, The salti always does it for me so it gets my vote.
What is focus peaking ? Sorry, I got no idea as it`s a totally different system to what I use.

In manual focus you get a colour at the point of critical focus, so as you move back and forth you see the colour moving over the object. Makes it easier to get your focus where you want it.

Ah right, makes sense now, Thanks Andy
