Fun with Macro Photography

Goofing Off

Astute Astute read­ers may have noticed that I’ve been tran­si­tion­ing to using mostly my Fujifilm X-T1 cam­era, with my Leica M9-P rel­e­gated to backup duties. It’s com­pact and light like the Leica, has plenty of man­ual con­trols, and has bet­ter ISO per­for­mance. Fuji makes a spe­cial adapter that lets me use my M-mount lenses with it, and their own lenses are tack sharp, with beau­ti­ful color ren­der­ing and auto-focus.

Today I was goof­ing off with the Fujifilm Macro Extension Tube MCEX-16, which can be used on any inter­change­able lens Fuji X-mount cam­era, even with my Leica and Zeiss M-mount lenses (but only with the M-mount adapter). All of the images were shot with the Fuji + the M-mount adapter and the macro tube sup­port­ing my Zeiss Ikon 50mm ƒ/1.5 C Sonnar T* ZM lens. Enjoy some of the result­ing images!
