DIY Macro with the Canon Zoom Lens EF 35-80 1:4-5.6 - Part 2

About a year ago, I modded a Canon kit lens into a true Macro lens. The results were great, but I promised to play a little more with this lens, once I purchased a flash.

So last week, I finally purchased a Godox TT350S, an affordable compact flash with TTL and wireless capabilities. My wife had a good diffuser around, made by Gary Fong for portrait photography, but actually working well also for Macro photography.

So, a nice new setup to play with.. and I must say that the miniature world is very addictive.  You never know what will show on your next picture.

And a little reminder that I bought this lens for $11.99. But it performs almost as good as a dedicated, expensive, macro lens.
