[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 752113, member: 47518"] Hey Dangerspouse, Thanks a lot for the encouragement and insightful thoughts. Here are responses to your thoughts: 1. Yeah, I have been thinking about downing speed to 1\80... But the truth is the spider is live and keep moving (escape from my shooting it :( and my camera is on tripod, but at clumsy site and unstable position, and lens is reversed with no contact to body, so manual focus is the only way. No AF, no other modes than M, no aperture control from body. Very lousy situation. 2. I think I can do the multi-focus shooting on a non-live or stationary object without a rail, but not on a live, moving subject (not even with a rail). Any idea of an interesting (stationary) thing to do this other than a coin[FONT='inherit']? Not flower season now I guess. 3. Magnifying glass sounds interesting and helpful. I'll try it. The thing is that macro shooting is now my only occasion to use Liv view (except preview images) and it draws a lot and very fast power from a battery. I just put a full battery and only take about 50 macro shots using Liv view and it turns empty! I don't know how far can go playing the magnifying glass... After the first run of spider, I put some extension tubes between body and reversed lens. It does increase magnification, but it worsens lighting too. I definitely need some LIGHT. I like the ring light on your camera lens. Is it even possible to find a ring light used on a reversed lens[/FONT][FONT='inherit']?[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
