I recently got one of these and I played around with it a bit today. Here are a few shots of some bits of climbing gear. (The last shot is cropped slightly to get the axle centered but the other shots have not been cropped.)

What kind of photo gear? These are nice. I've gotta get out my 105 Micro Nikkor and try some.

Nice shots! The 5:1 reproduction on that lens is pretty incredible. Makes me feel i might have pull out my 60mm micro nikkor tonight. Teece, it's a canon 65mm f2.8 macro, manual focus, 5:1; he links to it.

Look at all those micro-fractures! You should retire all that gear right away. But seriously those are very cool pictures.

Here's one I came up with. Again not so close as those but thought it turned out pretty cool. Blue Kaukulators baby!

Not exactly a macro, but a still life of climbing gear. I need to invest in a good macro lens.

This inspired me to take a few shots last night. Nikon D7000 with 60mm micro nikkor. No special lighting. Some cropping.

Thanks for the compliments! And nice shots, Larry. Here's the setup that I used for the shot of the 0.75 logo. The body is a Canon 5D Mark II; except for the tripod legs, all support is from Really Right Stuff. The lens is deployed at full magnification and the cam is maybe an inch away from the lens. An essential tool for using this lens is the focusing rail. The lens has no focusing ring so either the object being photographed or the camera needs to move in order to focus. The rail can make minute adjustments to the position of the camera and fine-tune the focus; Live View aids greatly in that process. I also used a remote switch to mitigate camera shake.
