Much better

And yes thank you, the new home is my idea of heaven!

Still there, left it on the site for other people that might want to play with a cheap low cost alternative. Again it's a low cost alternative - not as good as the real thing. So when I finally got the real thing I stopped using it. But others seemed to have made something of it so it's all good :)....

I know MPE is all metal, but I do suspect that your combo might be a bit heavier and somewhat more awkward to use. And in terms of image quality and resolution, I do have to give the nod to MPE - a Raynox adapter is a perfectly good budget alternative, but that's what it is, a budget alternative.

Speaking for myself, I'm a recent recruit to the world of microscopy, and I'm eager to learn more. So I have joined Quekett, and I'll keep that membership up, but: Access to the web and its reams of amazing forums and websites means that information is now readily available, as is dialogue and engag...

It is with profound sadness that I want to pass on the news that Andrea Hallgass has passed on and is not with us anymore. He was one of the great stackers over at Flickr, and I for one learned a lot from him and found his work very inspiring.

I've been in touch with Alan Hadley, and he's happy for me to host and distribute the last, latest copy - it's at a new downloads page - http://extreme-macro.co.uk/downloads/ if anyone has software or plugins that they'd like my site to also host via that new page, ping me a mail here or via the sit...

Just want to say that I've had one of these for a couple of months - thumbs up from me. Very sturdy, good large support underneath, plenty of holes to attach stuff - very very handy for anyone wanting to set up their own rig.

That's excellent, thanks for posting!

Looks great, nice purchase! I'm also a "bought the expensive canon unit" owners, it wasn't around at the time!
