The best feeling is always when the postman comes knocking at your door with a parcel for you but you know very well you didn’t order anything lately. The feeling of excitement plus a little bit of fear (cases where you start clicking the ‘Buy Now’ button after too much beer) is just awesome.<\/p>\n

I was handed this little parcel today and it in … something fun to add to my Lensbaby family. The Lensbaby Macro Converters! It comes in a set of 2 … an 8mm and also a 16mm one. Both can be used separately or stacked up for more closeup action. They work just like extension tubes that some of us use for closeup\/macro photography but these are designed and built specially to work with the Lensbaby lenses.<\/p>\n

Way too late to go shoot any flowers or bugs … so I did some test shots to compare the working distance and see how close I can get to the subjects. Sorry for the simple and lousy photos. I am just too tired to try get nicer shots but was desperate to give the converters a test.<\/p>\n

Shot using the Edge80 optic with the front extended (closeup mode).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shot with only the 8mm converter attached.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shot with only the 16mm converter attached.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally … stacked both the 8mm and 16mm converters.<\/em><\/p>\n

Check out more information about the macro converters here in Lensbaby’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hope I can sneak out to the park for some macro photography this Saturday. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
