Tiny little creatures or details of other living matter one might otherwise not notice or ones that take on a different character up close.

Moe,

Thanks for the suggestions. Actually, I've found that the standard lens in macro mode does pretty darn well (probably more so than with the 5MP A1). Sure, I may crop the images a bit, but the detail and extra DOF compared to reversed 50mm lens are a big plus. Remember, only those pics where I state I used reversed 50mm lens are the super-macros.

Very nice, i love your gallery! Macro photography is my favorite aspect of photography, but the Dimage A1 just doesn't cut it for me. I, like you, had an old 50/1.8 canon lens that came with the TLb, so i'll try fitting it in the lens hood until the macro coupler i ordered arrives. I should also note that if you happen to live in the Toronto area, Henry's has all used lenses for 10$ each, a great 'safety' lens for testing until you want to use your good canon one.
