New toy: a Laowa 2x macro lens. Comes very favourably out of reviews, also for non-macro distances. It's the crop sensor advantage that this is small-ish and cheap-ish, while still being a super-sharp f/2.8 apochromatic lens. Now I have to learn to manually focus, and to use (flash) lighting.

Phone photo of a mirrorless camera, Canon R10. What's new is the Laowa 65mm F2.8 2x Macro lens mounted on it. The lens is small-ish because it is made for crop sensor cameras like the R10.

Don't handhold macro shots they say. Don't use the built-in flash and don't use maximum aperture. They are probably right.

(This is nowhere near the maximum magnification btw)

Closeup of a croissant. Because it's a handheld macro shot with built-in flash and maximum aperture, it's not a very good photo. Particularly the depth of field is very shallow.

Glad it's winter and there are no insects about, testing out my macro lens.

Canon R10 with Laowa 65mm F2.8, either with Godox speedlite flash off-camera or the light of my Samsung phone when I had already put the speedlite away.

Closeup of the eye of a small plastic toy. I didn't dust it off before taking the photo.
