Thanks Jojm I did think of this one but as a stand alone coupling i couldn't see how it would tighted, as it's a threaded disc, If used with the item its made for it is perfect and both may well be in my setup soon.

All round nice result for a first attempt, I would be happy! congrats. If you want to improve on this i would just suggest look closely at your light balance (left eye looks brighter) The Symmetry is spot on! I use a ball head with adaptor for crocodile clamp along with those pins with a ball on the...

That would be down to you to learn it, it depends on your lens for depth of focus and the amount of travel on the rail when you rotate the knob to make it move, if you get blurred lines in your finished stack move the rotation screw/knob less. simples! If you get the Newport with micrometer then thi...

Like I said before power without control is nothing; I would not use an MP-E in top of that rail. In all fairness this rail is poor but will do ok in the lower end with slower apertures, granted not a match best advised but if you have nothing else there will be a use for it till something affordab...

The cheap ebay rails will work, i used them along with Combine ZM with success, great for learning the craft but you will be working around the 2x end at best and with extreme care and patients, any movement is very slight, making the numbers on the side pretty pointless! IMO this product is sure to...
