[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 172682, member: 15426"] Hard ball case! Hello "whitelight" To investigate such a problem is not always easy. What I observe is that the leaf, as well as the caterpillar, is affected. I suspect camera/lens movement to be the cause of the ghosting here. It is clear that at such close range, movements may occur and may be not perceptible for both, amplitude and duration, are punctual at shutter release. Try these possible solutions that may be combined should you see it proper: • Mirror up operation would be the simplest place to start. • Balance your gear with a rail. The camera has its weight right over the attachment screw on the tripod head. The lens weight is all in the front of the anchoring point thus creating proper condition for accentuated camera shake upon shutter release. To properly balance your gear, set both camera and lens on a rail, making sure that the lens is supported. Then, use a pencil under the rail to find the balance point. Once found, you know where the rig should be anchored. Note that this anchoring point is valid as long as you use the rig in the horizontal plane (that is how you found it in the first place). Should you tilt the rig, some correction will be considered. [ATTACH=CONFIG]46076[/ATTACH] This is the way we all do it normally. [ATTACH=CONFIG]46077[/ATTACH] Even correctly attached, a movement is observable. [ATTACH=CONFIG]46078[/ATTACH] This the rail I design and made for my purpose. [ATTACH=CONFIG]46079[/ATTACH] Once mounted securely, the lens is supported as well. [ATTACH=CONFIG]46081[/ATTACH] Try to find the balance point. [ATTACH=CONFIG]46080[/ATTACH] Now, the whole thing has a neutral stress. [ATTACH=CONFIG]46082[/ATTACH] Should you need to tilt the rail, re-balance the rig. [/QUOTE]
