[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I captured this spider today. It is no more than 2 millimeters in length.
I don't know it's name. So any comment will be appreciated.

As for how I managed to make this shot with Sony F828.
I use one trick. I joined my Sony F828 lens with Helios 44-m4 - old soviet lens from my old soviet Film SLR - Zenit with joint ring.
Then I used tripod. ISO - 400.
It was really hard to focus on it and depth of focus is very small. But anyway we can see even his eyes.

Hi Siarhei,
Amazing! is it really only 2 mm length? Superb macro shot. The image is a bit 'grainy', but considering all of your effort and difficulties in capturing this micro-creature. This is great result.
