Butterfly Wing Scales - a photo on Flickriver

Butterfly Wing Scales

            Combining two different m42 lenses for ultra high magnification.
These butterfly wing scales were shot using a 180mm f3.5 Meyer Optik Primotar @f3.5 with a reversed Sigma Superwide 24mm f2.8 @f5.6 on the front. Back of the envelope calculation puts this at 180/24= 7.5:1 magnification although I haven't factored in an ext tube I used to increase the image circle and reduce the vignetting the above combination results in on a ff body.

32 layer focus stack blended in Affinity Pro and edited in PS
