Quinton,

Regarding the Kirk Focusing Rail; are you referring to the one at the link below?
http://www.kirkphoto.com/Focusing-Rail-Macro.html

The type of subjects you intend to photograph will determine how 'course' or 'fine' the individual slices will need to be .i.e. the higher the magnification, the finer the slices.

Can you elaborate further regarding your intentions; are they specific or general?

Me and Macros ?

Post by Quinton »

Here is what I have been doing for the past several years.http://www.photopoints.com/main/photos/ ... x?ID=12608
I think with my Nikon d-700 and Kirk tubes i have gone as far as I could.I think the rails will let me focus better and maybe get into focus stacking.
