Macro: Handheld, Manual Focus, Manual Stop-Down · 01:43 AM

The recent thread about extension tubes and the lack of auto-focus for macro, together with comments about the difficulties of manual stop-down and the almost necessity for a tripod inspired me to try a few more handheld macro shots with my Takumars today.

Looks like you have not lost the touch there Mike. I really like #2 that 'beatle?' must have been tiny.

Mike you are proof that this just can't be done

All these look great. All you need is some understanding and a steady hand.
