First use of the funky Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro lens, shooting the oldest thing in our solar system.

  1. If you want to really geek out on Macro, a must follow is Javier Ruperez ex: http://www.flickr.com/photos/quenoteam/50489826823 – A true master. And make special note of the stacking techniques & the super cool gear he uses on his Canon 6D rig…such as:
    Mitutoyo M Plan APO 5x 0.14 + Raynox 250
    Tiempo exposición: 1/8" – ISO100
    Canon Auto Bellows
    MJKZZ IR Remote Motion Controller
    Newport M436 linear stage
    Stacking
    Nº de fotos: 136
    Pasos: 51,43 µm
    Magnificación aproximada: 3,17x

  2. Also: the Canon 100-400 f 4-5.6 IS II has a close focus distance of ~3 feet and creates excellent magnified macro images with beautiful natural color. Gets around all the lighting issues of having to be right on top of the subject. With the 5dMkIV shld be able to produce pretty great detailed images of the meteorites…only trick will be avoiding reflection…

  3. @stephenbove OMG, I have that lens! I would never have thought of it for Macro Zooms. I also have the 100mm prime (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS) with image stabilization. I wonder if it would be better. It has a 1:1 maximum magnification and an 11.8" minimum focusing distance.
