[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 461371, member: 3008"] These pics aren't great but they serve the purpose which was an experiment in lens reflection. A camera upgrade in is on the way to make previewing and focus peeking easier. :perfect: Both pics were taken from the same position with the lens as close as possible. It's also the same garnet as I used above but on a white back ground.

In the second image a sheet of paper with a hole about an inch in diameter was placed over the lens. This hid the camera body and most of the lens. The results speak for them selves. :D I think I'm going to experiment some more. Perhaps with a secondhand lens cap painted white. Not my idea but I had been doing some Googling on gem photography.
