I'm not going to try and estimate the level of magnification in this shot; it's almost microscopic. A reversed wideangle coupled with a set of bellows makes it possible, is not very easy, to capture some really tiny detail. The individual cells of this clematis leaf are clearly visible, though still very small and rather indistinct.What's not so good is the significant softness of the image, even when stopped down to a supposedly near-optimum aperture. But that goes with the unconventional use of the lens - not how it was designed for.
Settings: f/6.7, 1/2, ISO 100, reversed Tamron 24mm with 55-52 and 52-PK adapters, macro bellows, 1/4 flash fired behind leaf, tripod.
