Wow! Truly making visible the nearly invisible... those mineral crystals, if
FOV is ~2mm then they are nearly the size of grains of sand. I thought that
the E-1 did a very good job with them, and having the immediate feedback of
digital probably makes doing such highly technical macro shooting more
certain. I have a bellows and macro lenses, but I've hardly ever tried to
get beyond 1:1 on anything... maybe I'll have to 'burn' some film just to
see what I can see. <g>
