A7r III + Tamron 28-75 f2.8

[hockeyhead019]

Just a couple sample shots, it's no macro lens, but the res of the A7r III helps a lot! I have an 85mm lens that I'm going to mess with some extension tubes and see what it can really do tomorrow, just figured I would share lol

If anybody has any minolta lens recommendations for the sony mount adapter I'm all ears, I'd rather not break the bank right now for a dedicated macro lens (yet lol)

Nice shots. What’s the lighting on the tank any post processing done? You still have room to crop if you’re aiming for a macro like shot

Definitely still a little room to bring it in.

Lighting on the tank is 2 Viparspectre black box LED units. Only post was some cropping, slight color adjustment and temp adjustment

Gave it another shot with some extension tubes and a tripod, good results, still not true macro lens results like I've had in the past.

Minolta 100mm macro is amazing. Mine is nearly 40 years old

I've had results better than a macro lense using a 50mm with extension tubes. Try using that 85mm u said u have with the tubes and you should be getting much better magnification and quality.

Gave it a shot, but was struggling with minimum focusing distance, a lot of my coral is pretty close to the glass so it wasn't getting the job done too well.
