Those dragon fly images are absolutely beautiful. I rarely see them land and be still for any length of time. I would print these and hang them on the wall !!!

Gorgeous work Ronny! I'm always amazed what you're able to capture with tubes attached. Stunning.

Ronny,

Superbly done. Are you sure you are not using oil paints?

Well can't compete with you guys but one of my first tries with tubes. I've had the tubes for quite some time but never got around to using them much until yesterday.

Cheap e-bay tubes with Nikon mount. Mounted on Olympus OM-D E-M1 using the Nikon Micro Nikkor PC 55mm F3.5.

Think I will be using tubes a whole lot more from now on. It's fun!

The beetle(?) was about 1cm in length so DOF is maybe around a 1mm here, or less I think. Not the sharpest, or greatest or most interesting out there but fun anyway

The main thing with tubes is that they should fit snugly, especially onto the camera body. Slack can fail to depress the button which tells the camera there is a lens attached.

Not a bad picture of a beetle, Longhorn I suspect.

Could very well be a Longhorn, I have no idea but am glad for all info I can get about it and thanks for the comment

Thanks for the explanation regarding the tubes as well! The lack of snug fit would have been a huge problem with these I think had it not been for the mirrorless camera. The Olympus I am using is set to "fire without a lens attached" when I use it with old manual lenses and this eliminates the problem you describe.

I have never had to tell my EM-1 anything about lenses, other than to select the FL for the IS. I use all kinds of tubes and adapters and they all work OK.

Yup roger that! Can't remember if it was my E-M5 or the E-M5 or if I have it mixed up with the Sony A7 I used for a while where you had to make a menu selection that said "release without lens". Anyhow, the E-M1 works great

My limited use of lenses with my A7R has given the same experience as with the EM-1. I don't own a Sony lens.

There is a setting on the A7 (can't remember if it's on the E-M1) that says "release without lens". It was set to off on my A7 but then again it was bought as demo used. It's probably set to ON as default otherwise.

Quite correct. It is set on "enable" by default. (Why would anyone choose "Disable"?).
