Wonder what a Macro Clip COULD do here...I'll know in a few days!

Ok, so this is not with a Macro Clip. But I had to try to take a photo as a "before" with the idea that when my macro clip comes, I'll be able to see the difference. Today, lots of bugs came to me--I think it was a good sign that I'll be getting some fun close ups soon. Not a "real" lens, but it is my first purchase since starting the project. Woohoo!
This is quite good...without the macro clip. Why is it a "clip?" I have heard of screw on macro filters...but not a clip.

@darylo I see! You will have to keep us posted how it works.

Such clarity! I have no idea why you need a macro clip when you can take a photo this good without one! That bug is so sharp it seems to float above the flower as if suspended in space.

@darylo Nice I was thiking of getting one, but I think I will stick with my 60mm Macro lens for a while yet, great shot by the way :)

Wonderfully detailed macro and great dof.

@bruceruston I don't have a dedicated Macro, but this seems like a nice compromise for what I might want to do! We'll see!

Did you take this hand held? As you might find with the clip that you need a tripod to do insects as they will be so magnified that the slightest wobble will result in a blurred shot. Let me know how you get on with it, I find it great on flower shots.

I really need to get a micro. Great shot

I agree with Junko, you have achieved great detail without the clip :-)

@jo13 I did take this hand-held and I plan on using the clip with the tripod...that is, once I find my darned piece that attaches to the camera and the tripod. I swear, I'm all over the place and I cannot keep the piece in one place. I'll probably get the slider piece you talked about too. Just waiting to do one thing at a time!!! Excited to try something new regardless. :)

Lovely shot, great detail. That looks like an interesting gismo, I have screw in close up lens for some of my lens and am quite pleased with what you can achieve, keep us informed how it performs.

Beautiful shot and detail!

Great macro and composition!

Great macro, without a macro! LOL! This is super sharp and focused Daryl - can't wait to see what you do with your new toy! : )

Wonderful macro shot!

Great clarity and wonderful detail in this!

@darylo That's so cool. I thought macro lenses were terribly expensive. This is a great idea for the financially challenged...
