Jorge, how do you get 2:1 maginification ?
100mm macro and intermediate rings ?
Nice work.

no. I use kenko extension tubes and Sigma 105 mm EX. I can get 4:1 with 50 mm inverted lens but it turns very hard to take photos. Very small depth of field and we almost see nothing. :S So we must illuminate the object. :)
