Comparison: Marumi DHG200 vs. Raynox DCR-250 (Sigma DP3 Merrill)
First of all the most important thing: I wish you all a very Happy New Year! š In the following posting Iād like to show you some images that can make your decision between the Marumi DHG200 and the Raynox DCR-250 easier. Both achromatic lenses are a good and cheap (~ ā¬70) option to improve ...
DP2 Quattro, Marumi DHG200 and Raynox DCR-250
While taking photos of the Christmas tree ornaments it struck me that my two achromatic lenses, Marumi DHG200 and Raynox DCR-250, have increased Sigma DP2 Quattroās magnification factor quite considerably, despite DP2Qās short focal length. I found that quite interesting, given that achromatic lenses are supposed to increase the magnification factor more, the longer the ...
Grasshopper portraits and other macros
You donāt get the chance every year to go for a long walk on Boxing Day. But thanks to the unusually high temperatures that wasnāt any problem this year. On the contrary, taking a walk in the sunshine at 11Ā°C was very pleasant. In my photo bag I had the Sigma DP3M with the achromatic ...
Have you decorated your Christmas tree yet?
Since Iām not particularly religious and Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January here, I only begin to realize in the last moment that this big holiday is just around the corner. This usually means that the Christmas tree needs to be decorated quickly. And for me thatās always a ālast-minute actionā. š This ...
Sigma DP3M Marumi, DHG200 and Raynox DCR-250 on a real macro photo stroll
Here on my blog Iāve already shown some photos I shot with my Sigma DP3M and the achromatic lenses Marumi DHG200 and Raynox DCR-250. However, those were only test images of a tape measure in order to find out what magnification factor the combination achieves. Besides that, Iāve documented the fan replacement on my neighborās ...
Fan replacement ā Neighborās laptop survives open heart surgery ;)
Last week my neighbor with the nice garden called and told me his laptop was dying. Surfing the web, Facebook, Skyping, allegedly nothing was working anymore as the notebook kept switching off automatically within a short time. On the very same evening I checked the āterminally ill surf machineā. I installed ThrottleStop to read out ...
Macro Power: Sigma DP3 Merrill + Marumi DHG200 + Raynox DCR-250
Iāve taken quite a few nice macro shots with my go-to macro gear (Sigma DP3 Merrill and Marumi DHG200 achromatic lens) in the past. Being curious as I am, Iāve wondered for quite some time, how this combo would perform, if one were to screw an additional achromatic lens on to the Marumi. Since this ...
Something different for a change: black and white macros
Iāve been thinking about going to London for three or four days, but after almost an entire week of the typical London weather here in Belgrade I pretty much dumped the idea. Why spend money if I can get the London flair ā which I can only stomach in small doses at a time anyway ...
Macro photography is not like riding a bicycle
Itās said you never forget how to ride a bike. Unfortunately, macro-photography is not like riding a bike ā at least, that is not my impression, after the first two macro sessions of the season. I do know that I have to close the aperture a bit more ā something the reader JĆ¼rgen Rƶtzsch pointed ...
The macro-season is open!
If anybody is like me, tends to develop winter fat during winter, and wants to get rid of it again as soon as possible, they should try macro-photography. š No, Iām not kidding: living the life of the couch-potato during the cold months, it is easy to forget how exhausting hunting six- and eight-legged creatures ...
