    Your closeups are really excellent! 1/500s = no flash? Posted 3 years ago

      No flash. I have a ring flash, but I prefer natural light - plus I need a new step up ring… it won’t clamp onto my new macro - the flash’s smallest diameter’s is too big. Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago

        It's hard to see the magnification but it seems fairly significant, plus a good depth of field, all with natural light and a fast shutter speed is really nice. Posted 3 years ago

          It’s a very nice lens I believe it’s 2x at its closest focus and the stabilization works very well. Posted 3 years ago
