It makes me want to buy the lens

As I have mentioned in the footer of my post about my gear and the set up that I use to take these macro photos, I also have mentioned a few times in some of my comments and some of my posts about how I really want to buy a dedicated macro lens. The current set up that I have is a little bit complicated with the extension tube as well as the adapter that I need to use my Canon lens to my Olympus camera body, as they have different pins and also system to connect the lens and also the camera.

The other reason is that I get these kind of flare in some of the occasion in some of my photograph, it could really affect the result of my photos, as the result is not as sharp as I wanted to be.

And also it is quite hard for me to adjust during the post processing in the editing software. Or maybe I am not that good enough to find the solution for it, or having a better skill in editing the flare so that overall result is very nice.

But for now, the results like these that make me want to buy a dedicated macro lens, although it still my long term goal, the money in my pocket is not allow me to do so at the moment.
hahah

The flare is in the middle of the photograph, as you can see in the photo of this praying mantis below.

But yeah, hopefully I can buy the lens in the future, and make the best out of it. Maybe I can sell some of the photo to make up the money I spent to buy it.
haha

for now, please kindly enjoy the praying mantis that I have for you now, which I took some times ago.
