Those are quite impressive! Even with the very narrow DOF you manged to
land the focal plane at just the right spot in the vast majority of
images. Going beyond lifesized in the field gets very challenging.
Judging from the detail in the compound eyes the Raynox seems to do
really well. I've been meaning to get one of those for some time, I
think your gallery is the nudge I need to actually do it.

Hi PDML,
One the advice of Johan
(http://extreme-macro.co.uk/raynox-adapter-techniques/) I’ve been
investigating the use of Raynox lenses for greater than 1:1 macro
work, results here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskgYxHbt
I’ve been using the DCR-250 on the Sigma 180mm macro with the Viltrox
JY-670 Ring Flash, giving me 1.5:1 - 3:1 magnification (depending on
focus) with a working distance of 12cm - 7cm respectively and razor
thin DOF - tough to get things in focus, but good fun too.
I’ve also tried the MSN-202, but its just too hard to use in the field
as it gives 5x - 8x magnification on the 180mm lens and finding
subjects is too difficult. In the lab it works well though..
C&C and other user’s suggestions and experiences welcome..
Cheers,
Ben
