      The palpigrade and this springtail represent the maximum magnification I can get out of my rig. This is a 1.7x and a 2.5x teleconverter stacked with three extension tubes and a 100mm lens working at maximum magnification..... sucks trying to find the subject with all that gear on the camera.

        Wow! so would this be approaching a 5:1 magnification, similar to that crazy Canon macro lens? Posted 6 years ago
