Yesterday I spent some time doing a handheld in-camera focus stacking with digital teleconverter test with the M.Zuiko 90 mm f/3.5 PRO IS macro lens. I also had the M.Zuiko MC-14 teleconverter attached as part of my macro set-up.
I figured if I was going to push myself and my gear… I might as well try to break through a new personal, handheld macro boundary by combining the Handheld In-Camera Focus Stacking function with the Digital Teleconverter. And… and throw in the MC-14 for good measure.
It is important to consider shooting angles and distances when doing macro and close-up photography as these factors impact our images. This article shares some handheld macro images that were captured at a recent visit to the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory. All of the images are displayed as full frame captures without any cropping done to them at all. Photographs were resized for website use.
This article features some handheld test images captured with the M.Zuiko 90 mm f/3.5 PRO IS macro lens, and STF-8 Twin Macro Flash. All of the photographs (except image 22) were created during a short duration visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) in Burlington Ontario.
I’ve been continuing to practice handheld focus stacking with the MC-20 teleconverter and M.Zuiko 90 mm f/3.5 PRO IS macro lens. This article features a selection of HHFS (handheld focus stacked) backyard images of some insects and blossoms.
This article features a small selection of jumping spider macro images that were captured handheld using in-camera focus stacking (HHFS) with my E-M1X, an M.Zuiko 90 mm f/3.5 PRO IS macro lens, and an M.Zuiko MC-20 teleconverter.
I’m still in the early stages of my learning curve with this lens. These jumping spider macro photographs should definitely be viewed from a test image perspective. All of the photographs in this article are full frame captures without any cropping. They were resized to 1200 pixels on the width for website use.
This article features some handheld images from a recent flies in flight test I conducted in my backyard, and provides some related commentary.
Like any test session, my objective was to push myself and my camera gear so I could better understand my current capabilities, as well as identify opportunities for improvement.
This article discusses an HHHR (Handheld Hi Res) test with the M.Zuiko 150-600, and shares some handheld images captured at the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory.
My objective with this short test was simply to find out how well the Handheld Hi Res technology would work with the M.Zuiko 150-600 and its Sync-IS. All of the images featured in this article are full frame captures without any cropping… but resized for this website.
