In Topic: Getting more than 1:1 macro from 1:1 lenses

Thank you Bart, that is very useful info. 

Yesterday, I experimented with my 180mm macro and a reversed 50mm on top of that and got decent results shooting a tiny spider in my garden (topside obviously).  Working distance a few centimeters, fiber snoot to get some light on it and dof half a mm at best. (see example below)

so how would a 180mm macro (Sigma) work with a +10 diopter? Minimal working distance for the Sigma is 50 cm.

+1 for #3. Very nice. Can you tell us more about the lighting and dome?

Are you sure you are using the right size (thickness) o-rings? I had difficulties putting a Subal extension ring and port together until I used a slightly thinner o-ring.
