    So i tested to make sure it's working, this snail is the result of about 30 some test shots with the crappy portrait/landscape lens that came with it and some extender tubes and a +3 diopter, still waiting on my reverse set up, time to learn! Plant is helianthum tenellum and the snail is a ramshorn.

    5DSR A little out of my range...:lol: i went for a EOS 500d that came with a standard lens and a battery grip, also bought a set of extender tubes with the metal contacts for auto focus, and some filters/diopters to play with as they were quite cheap. I will look to upgrade lenses later my...

    Extension tube looks like the way i'm going to go... have you used an extension tube and diopter at the same time? i know lighting can be an issue with diopters, i mean i'm not looking for "true macro" myself as i'm a complete amateur photographer, how are ring lights when photographing through...

    I was also looking at locking the aperture how does that perform compared to reversed lenses or a extension tube? i mean i have a lot of patience, just not satisfied with cheap point and click shots.

    My plan is to get one of the lens adapters and front to front adapters, start with a single lens reversed, then go to 2 once i have the money for another lens, macro lenses are just too expensive for my means.

    Looking mainly at 2nd hand DSLR, i know there are a fair few photography heads on here, just wondering what people would choose at the really budget end, i'm not bothered about age or features, i just want to take some nice reversed lens macro shots. Thanks in advance, Gus.

    How to make the best photo as possible of your planted tank

    https://www.instagram.com/nanoscape/ this guy posts some great macros with a iPhone 6s and macro clip-on. :) obviously not on the same level as a DSLR with macro lens, but still very good, 275 euros is very reasonable second hand, from a friend or from ebay?
