Macro without a macro lens

[David Morison]

Much as I love my new 60mm macro, sometimes the working distance is a little too close for wary subjects. So back to my favourite lens for a short trip down the lane. These taken today with the Leica 14-150mm, minimum focus distance 0.5m.

Really nice and sharp.

Truly stunning, whichever lens you used.

Proof that you don't need a dedicated macro lens for super closeups
