I knew you did something wrong, cause that is way too damn small.

haha yeah! I just took about 100 pics and I think only a handful of them actually turned out good or at least acceptable -.-.
I also discovered that if I want to zoom out and get more of the subject I actually have to zoom in probably because everything is reversed lol. It's kinda amazing though that at 17mm it would enlarge the object that much and you can see all the cracks and crap on a surface that looks clean and blank with your eyes. I can only imagine how much your 10-20mm lens could enlarge at the shortest focal length. You can probably see all the germs and cooties on a coin .

I never actually tried the zoom part, lmao.

Oh! Which lens did you use when you took yours? Your pictures look like they were taken with a lens using a quite long focal length.

Then I guess you probably used 28mm when you took yours. All the pictures I posted in here were taken at 17mm and I think that's the reason why it enlarged a very small area. and I used a 17-85mm lens - nothing special either .
