Thank you -- I was quite put out with my picture taking today and feel much better now. I'm sure I will be saddened by your macro's fate, but for now I'll have a glass of wine.

Hey -- we live in the same garden! Glad you kept the lens. What did you shoot the bee at? Your ex data never shows up.

The bee was either f11 or f16. I wonder why my exif data doesn't show up.

There are some seriously talented photographers posting on this thread! It shows me what can be done, and that someday I might get good enough to take shots like those! Way to go everybody! Wow!

Hey Bill? I have been experimenting using the 105 extension tube and my 50mm 1.8D on it. The sharpness is great. You have to get close. So, have to be very quiet to get some of the shots. I like the sharpness it gives.

Great work buddy! I used the extension tube on my ai 200mm and had pretty good luck with it once. But I just hated using the tube myself and focus rail. But I loved using the Ai 105mm without the tube, since it had such a great feel! Lol

If you are a very small bug, better stay away from nature's flypaper, salvia discolor
