Comments:
Macro photography is just great. And you may not notice but I put these through some HDR processing to bring out a bit more dynamic range.
And with Micro Four Thirds, you can get cheap legacy macro lenses easily. I used to have a Canon FD 100 f4.0 macro which I liked a lot but I prefer this Tamron's bokeh (a complete irrational opinion :D). So I sold the Canon to finance the Tamron Sp 90mm f2.5 macro.
Mine is the older 52B version which I found to be built like a tank which is great on the hand. It comes with Adaptall2-FD mount adapter so I can easily fit it on my existing FD-MFT adapter.
Of course, stopping down to f/11 will need good light so I used my trusted but little used Metz 58 AF-1. The lighting is a bit harsh so next time I'll probably use a diffuser and mount the flash off camera. If only when it can stop raining,
