Going eye-to-eye with a praying mantis can be a trip and a half, but understandably, not everybody shares my enthusiasm for creepy crawlies. This doesn't mean you cannot enjoy the visual treats afforded by peering at everyday objects at life-size or greater magnifications. To illustrate my point, I pulled a half dozen spice jars out of my cupboard along with a few herbs from our spring garden and photographed them with full confidence that none of them would bite or sting me.

My setup was quite simple. My camera and lens combination was a Sony a7R III and a ZEISS 100mm f/2.8 Makro-Planar T* lens adapted with a Novoflex Contax/Yashica to Sony NEX lens adapter, which enabled focusing down to life-size (1:1). For additional magnification, I added a set of Vello EXT-SFED2 AF extension tubes (10mm and 16mm), which, together, added approximately 25% additional magnification to my existing camera/lens combination.
