In excellent condition in original box. I have taken some very interesting shots with this lens. But I am now doing only butterflies and these are too large for the magnification. This lens is sharp. I am asking for $575 US. I will share shipping, as this will be sent from Canada. -Charles charles19...

I purchased this in 2012 and never opened the box until now. So it is in brand new condition. I have not been keeping up with upgrades, so this is likely an older model. The box cantains 1 StackShot Macro Rail package (AC/DC adapter type = US), 1 Cannon d series shutter cable, 2.5mm Shutter cable fo...

These are all great ideas and very much appreciated!

Thanks again Rik. Helpful reply...

Hi: It's winter here in Canada (just snowed a ton), and I am trying to practice on my setup before looking for interesting insects in the spring. I am just wondering what other objects might look interesting at 5X magnification. I have seen salt & pepper granules at 20X which look spectacular. I hav...

But herein is my dilemma: I am experiencing a lot of trepidation regarding my ability to collect dead insects (I won't kill them), be able to mount them, and deal with just generally handling them. I would have liked to see whether I can d...

Rik: Thank you very much. that is helpful! I am looking through some of the suggestions now. My problem is that I am not very techno adept. So I can't really build my own system as some of the contributors have. Some have adapted their set-up from microscope parts. Do you have any specific suggestio...

http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/1737_Match_1.jpg Hi. This is my first focus stuck (100% crop in image) and I am getting some out of focus banding. It is a stack of about 40 images. This banding concerns me, and I am wondering if I should get a better (more accurate) focusing rail. My ...

Rik, I just have a couple of more questions: 1. If I have a vertical setup the camera will be above the insect, and hence my image will show the top of the subject. But the best shots seem to be face on. How do people with vertical rigs take face-on images? 2. I have seen people use Nikon copy stand...
