WOW
WOW:: That is about as close as you can get. Great work. How did you attach the Minolta lens to the Oly 8080? I have some old Canon lens around somewhere, think one is a 50mm. Might experiment a little, may try hooking it up to my 5050. Again, great work! Bill Hanks

Thank you for your attention Bill ! I did not ATTACH the minolta 50 mm lens - I just held it reversed in front of the 8080 lens ! Diameter of the 50 mm lens is just a 1 mm smaller than the 8080 lens so it is allmost "attached" and light tight ! happy shooting Bill

Truly incredible shot, I have never come across this type of fly before, colours are stunning. Well done Dirk, I will have to look through old camera stuff to see what I can find.

Dirk, your hand is certainly more steady than I could ever manage. "Although, I'll have to try it. Again, great shot!

Awesome
This is just awesome, with that innovative thought you had of reversing the lens against the lens of the camera, made me realize how extreme one can get in this age of digital photography, looks like any and everything in digital photography is possible. This definitely is a.... Wooooow shot !!!!! well done Dirk.
