Macro lenses are mostly long-focus lenses.
When the coral grows larger, it becomes difficult to fit the whole thing in the frame, and the opportunities to use a mirrorless camera decrease.

The Porthole bucket I made before is too long, and the viewing angle of the wide -angle lens will be blocked, so I make some modifications.

Thanks for posting the Flikr links. I do the same and it's nice to be able to check out what settings you used on the camera and to be able to zoom in for details!! Great shots.
