Hi there Pete,Hi Bart lovely macros- are you using a Canon EF lens on teh GFX if so what adaptor and also (supplementary question) are you using a tripod?
Pete
Thanks for the information Bart and kudos for the effort you put into setting up the shots. I ask because my other hobby is machining and I want to start making some macro shots of tooling and work in progress and need to decide on what macro lens into what system would make it easy for a lazy type like me - again thanks for the information I like your shots of flora - not something that I usually react to - but your 'take' makes my eyes smile.Hi there Pete,
take a deep breath - it's the Canon EF 180mm f/3.5 L Macro USM and a Fringer EF-GFX Pro adapter.
For most shots a table-top tripod, to get a low vantage point, was used and a flash contraption to overcome any movement by wind.
AF works but it's not great for close-ups, a lot of hunting before it settles, so most of the time I'm using MF.
The lens doesn't cover the sensor completely. Cropping to 1:1 or even 5:4, depending on the background, will take out the dark corners.
Kind regards.

Hope to go back soon with my GF100-200 for 'close-up' shots.Stunning masonry and brickwork
