First, shooting these tiny critters with a +10 diopter is insanely difficult. I had the aperture dialed way down to help with the depth of field. Unfortunately, I only managed (1) photo that was relatively in-focus. Here are a couple examples of the diopters in action (these 3 images are uncropped):
100mm Macro Lens with no diopter. Notice the amount of particles around the PSL.
f-Stop 32 – Shutter 1/80 – ISO 400

100mm Macro Lens with +5 Diopter. Out of focus on this shot, but it shows the level of magnification the +5 offers.
Same settings as above.

And Finally! 100mm Macro Lens with +10 diopter. Notice the tiny grains next to the lumpie. They even cast a shadow. The front of the lumpie is a little blown out, but my focus is better on this.
Same settings as above.

As you can see, pretty significant magnification with the Subsee diopters. If I can get the right subject the results could be amazing.
Toward the end of my dive, I found a cluster of eggs (I believe they are Greenling eggs). I always wondered what was up with the different colors of eggs in the same cluster. With the help of my +10 diopter I may have found my answer ☺
Pinks eggs. Looks like they are just developing.

Not sure what stage these are at, but they look empty ☺

A Little further along…

And a little more developed, almost ready to break free???

Enjoy and have a good Fathers Day weekend!
