Speaking of macro photos, here are some grains of salt and a key on my keyboard: https://movq.de/v/925da391a5/ – I don’t have the proper equipment for this, so this takes an insane amount of patience. 🤣

@movq Holy crap, this is crazy! Very nice shots.
@lyse 😊 FWIW, these were shot using a “reverse mount”: https://movq.de/v/d89bbda0df Allows you to mount a wide-angle lens the opposite way, which turns it into a (cheap) macro lens. It’s not optimal, and as you can see, in my setup the electrical contacts are no longer connected, so my camera can’t control the lens anymore. But the worst part is that I don’t have a good tripod for this. Doesn’t matter, it’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s fun. 😁

@movq Brilliant idea, I didn't even know, that such reverse mounts exists or are even possible! You need a quite small tripod for this kind of thing, so you can position it on the same table surface, right?
@lyse Yes, and ideally I’d need a “macro slide” (Makroschlitten). The focus range is tiny and such a slide allows you to move the camera horizontally, thus bring the object into focus. That’d be especially important in my case, because I can’t use the lens’s focus ring anymore (it’s not connected), so the only way to adjust focus is to move the camera. 🥴

@movq Ah, that sounds like a small engineering project for the hobby shop. You could build yourself a small X/Y table like on a milling machine. In fact, on axis is enough and the size could be quite small. I built one myself, let me dig up the photos later.
@movq There you go, I didn't take pictures of the mechanism when I built this prototype, but I just took it apart and caught up on that. I didn't remember, that I also edited a quick video on how it works. ;-) Definitely a second washer plate is needed on the other side of the coupler nut in the slide to stop the nut from digging into the plywood. So at the moment backlash is quite bad when reversing. https://lyse.isobeef.org/x-y-table-prototype/
@lyse Wow! 😲 Yes, that’s exactly what I meant!
