There it is finally. The awakening of my lust for photography after a longer break. And the journey will start again, where it once started: In the macro dominion.
The object I captured today was something I always thought of as a snowflake of summer. Built to carry seeds for long distances wherever the wind blows. So first the shot. 
When you look at the EXIF-data of the shot it will tell you, that it was shot with a Sony E 50mm. Wait! The 50mm from Sony is no macro and the shot looks like a good magnification. How…..? I used my Kenko extension rings. They are fully automatic and work most of the time depending on the available light and contrast of the subject.
I started collecting data on the magnification of my lenses some time ago and if you like you are welcome to send me your data (or drop them in the comment).
| Lens | close focus | max magnification | Kenko 10 | Kenko 16 | Kenko 10+16 | |
| Sony 50mm f/1.8 | 39 | 1:6.3 | 0,16 | 0,36 | 0,48 | 0,68 |
| Sigma 19mm f/2.8 | 20 | 1:7.4 | 0,14 | 0,67 | 0,98 |

| Sigma 30mm f/2.8 | 30 | 1:8.1 | 0,12 | 0,45 | 0,65 | 0,99 |
| Sony 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 | 25 | 1:3.33 | 0,3 | 0,48 | 0,59 | 0,77 |
If you wonder about to theory I recommend a reading on the pages of Cambridge in color.
