Thanks. The problem is that most of my macro photos are made in 'studio' not in nature... I just suffer from lack of lenses...

it's not about camera... in fact more important here is lens or rather lenses because I've used two of them ( sigma 70-300mm with reversed ricoch 50mm ) - but ofcourse I love my camera

OH that IS awesome.... Great job. nice lookin little spider....
what ISO shutter speed and aperture settings did you use?[link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... matter of aperture is a bit complicated... because I used two lenses to take this photo. The first one mounted on body was Sigma 70-300 and the second one, reversed and mounted on sigma, was ricoh 50mm. And I set f:8 ( or 11? I don't remember exactly ) on ricoh only. Sigma had max aperture and was set on 300mm.
Shutter speed is rather not important because I used flash. I think it was 1/60 or 1/80.
ISO - 800
Manual flash.

aah when I use this method I have the reversed lense as wide as possible like f2.5 on my Pentax 50 mm and then adjusting the camera mounted lens's aperture as needed. I have the same Sigma lens I love using the high f stops.

In my situation when I used smaller aperture on Sigma vignietting was going higher and contrast and resolution were lower :/ that is why I was using only reversed lens diaphragm.

Dang, wish I could get that much detail of the spiders I photograph! Then again, a better zoom, and higher-quality camera would probably work. But, for what I do, my nice little (I mean little!) thing does a lot more than most people's do.
Then again, much of it is about the photographer, not the camera.
Awesome shot, though.

Holy shot!!
These eyes are like camera lenses...
How big is this spider?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
very small... something like 5mm, or smaller. yeah, they have huge eyes, because they hunt some other bugs - they are jumping to them and kill them. They can jump a few cm far even. The do not use net for hunting, just not to fall down from the wall.

Oh, it's this species??!! WOW! We have them here too, but...it REALLY doesn't look this small on your images, so I did't want to belive it at first!
