Bought a flash -- slapped it on today with the little diffuser. This... makes things a bit easier.

It's a pretty incredible advancement, though I have yet to see testing I'm fully satisfied with (ie Robert O'Toole of closeuphotography.com). It should be at least comparable to a suite of Mitutoyo objectives (though not usable for me since I need coaxial illumination).

I have their 2.5x-5x macro and while I like it, I really wished the aperture control were not manual so it would allow me to set it to f/11 while still allowing me to compose wide open. Not sure if the Aurogon behaves the same way (shame if it does).

Easier to make manual lenses for every month rather than making auto ones

And for macro it's what most people use anyway so just makes sense. Focus peaking in camera with mirrorless makes manual lenses much desirable, you get the benefit of cheaper, lighter and smaller but still sharp and don't have to worry about not being sure if this poo poo will actually be in focus (assuming your focus peeking system is good) Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 11:07 on Sep 29, 2023 |

Manual focus sure. But manual aperture is a bit annoying in low light situations (my camera switches to higher ISO, and eventually to a slower frame rate on the screen) where an auto aperture would allow me to focus/compose wide open (at a lower ISO and a high frame rate on the creen) even when shooting at f/16. I admit it's just an inconvenience, not a showstopper, and I get that mount licenses cost money which would get forwarded to the buyer.

Here's a mushroom I messed around with in my front garden. I can't decide which of these I like best. I used a green light; the colors aren't added in post
