Thank you for your insight Clovishound. I don't think I could handle one of the large diffusers so my present thinking is for a similar, but hot shoe mounted version of the one above, possibly with a sort of 'cowl + diffuser' at the working end. I'll fire up the ancient old grey cells and see...

I'm pleased to say that the TT685 II arrived yesterday evening and what a nice bit of kit it is, now I have to sit down and RTFM. :( I've ordered some stuff to make a couple of diffusers with - arriving Monday, and plan on doing some online research into popular diffuser designs - all hints and...

Not having done any serious hand-held macros for many years I will have to search the loft for the diffusers I used but I did find this image on an old drive. As I recall, it did become my most used one at the time, however, I'm sure I can design something better this time around. ;) Note: I...

Thank you both for your replies and I can confirm that I have found and ordered a TT685 II that is within my budget and hopefully it should arrive tomorrow. It seems I will be spending my weekend learning how to use it in practice. :)

I must have tuned into your wavelength because since I made my first post I spotted the battery information - which came as a surprise. I have a bucketful of rechargeable AA batteries which power most of my stuff so this is the preferred option and the model you recommend sounds just the ticket...

I am considering purchasing a Godox V860II-N flash gun to marry up with my D810 for close-up/macro photography using a home-made diffuser similar to one I used successfully on another marque of camera (apologise for the bad language ;)). My I tap into the collective wisdom of members for...

I can see it, here's a screen short of part of it: MODS Please delete post when it's served it's purpose, thanks

Congratulations. @Marilynne.

Thanks everyone, another great challenge and cracking images. Guilty as charged BF Hammer. :cry: In my defense, these are just a few that I kept back for supporting delicate cut flower stems for close-up and macro photography to avoid damaging the plants. We have an excellent plastic recycling...

I've been giving the macro setup of D810, Sigma 105mm macro + various extension tubes a workout recently. Section of a childs charm bracelet. 10BA thread form x 1/4 inch long machine screws. A bunch of 2mm square x 50mm long coloured matchsticks for hobby use.

Congratulations on a great photo @billpics. (y)

Hmm, the original poster hasn't been seen since 2019 @robert663 so your post may be falling on deaf ears, however, it may help someone else that comes across this thread. :)

First out of the stalls this week when I took the opportunity for this shot. A 'State-of-the-Art' system back in the day, I'm told this set was a wedding present circa 1929/30 and saw many years of service before being consigned to long term storage (shoved in a shed). The weights, starting with...

Apologies for my tardiness, I hope this qualifies for the challenge. 🤞

Congratulations @BF Hammer, A brilliantly thought out and executed image. Thanks to all who organised and took part in the Challenge.(y):)
