Popular Post TheDukeAnumber1 Posted September 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2020 I love the world of the small, it's such a complex and beautiful part of nature happening all around us that we usually never see. So share your macro shots! Me feeding fry baby brine from a pipette. 23 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 @MickS77 Unfortunately it's so old that it looks like it's no longer sold, but I just picked a highly rated one on Amazon.com. Just make sure the clip is long enough to reach the camera lens on your phone. Also, I found that with my newer and bigger phones, sometimes my phone case is too bulky so I have to take off the case so that the macro lens will lay flatter on the camera lens. 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatic Journal Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 My new baby goldfish! I think the more expensive macro lense kits they sell have a better range as well. I see some that people on Instagram take that are amazing compared to what my tiny macro lense can do haha 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 @MickS77 and @Aquatic Journal , one of the higher grade phone macro lens is made by Moment. https://www.shopmoment.com/shop/starter-set Of course, it is expensive, but I tested several clip on types and was unsatisfied. The Moment lens brought satisfaction. Biggest downside is also its biggest upside. You cannot use the lens without the Moment case. That is part of the reason the starter kit cost $110. But this is also why is works so well. I have designed and am gearing to manufacture a similar product for microscopes (it is what I filmed the Mulm video with). The best photography comes when camera and the lens are fixed in their optimal positions. This is a drawing of an early prototype of my microscope adapter system Which is basically the same as a Moment system, although at the time I designed this, I had not seen the Moment macros lens and case. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solidus1833 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Here is some macros I took of one of my Dojo Loaches and Orange Laser Cory. I still have a hard time getting most my fish to stay put long enough for macro shots. But the Dojos seem to like it when I approach the glass this close. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
