It's clever like that.

I thought it was the store in Thailand that makes my money look smaller.
Nice couple of pics. Maybe I will have to get my camera out and try that. I had to stop taking photos the way I like because my breathing is too bad now and my hands shake too. All my pictures look all blurred like the bits on a Japanese porn pic.

Raynox DCR150 or 250. Cheap and stunningly good.

Don't bother with a dedicated macro lens. Use a normal tube lens, say 85 - 135mm. Get a step ring (whatever your filter thread size > 43mm).

Also, a cheap LED macro flash ring set to continuous light.

For stacking you'll need a 4-way focusing rail too. Cheap can work, but not easily.

Taboo I believe there is a butterfly farm somewhere on Chatuchak park, never been myself but I made a note of it for next time.

I suppose it just depends how extreme you want to go with macro.

Getting part of a butterfly, say 2/3'rds of the critter in the frame is much more interesting.
