Originally posted by J.Scott It was a pretty heavy setup for my cheap-ass tripod and the focus kept drifting a tiny bit. All three rings plus the Voigtlander fully extended - from the front of the lens was about 8" to the surface of the CPU.
Sorry - no swapsies ! I'll live with the imperfect Voigtlander.
I know what you mean! I once used my CPC2 70-200 macro attached to a Pentax auto bellows with an extension tube (just one, 16mm), on my K10D with grip on an el cheapo tripod! Focusing and composition was a pain! In fact, it was easier when I handheld the whole thing!
with flash of course...
8"? That's a nice comfortable working distance for such high magnifications. Cool!
Was just kidding about the swap thing
you'd be real stupid to accept such a trade! (while I'd be real lucky
)
Post more using your setup! Would love to see how insect shots would turn out...
