    Re: Playing with my tubes

    yes the focus is incredible touchy ... i have only taken a few shots with mine and you barely "bump" the focus and it jumps what seems like a foot ....

    Re: Playing with my tubes

    Great job, Michael. Wow, all three tubes on a 100mm macro - must have been one heck of a magnification!

    Hint for all you guys and gals: manually focus first, then use your entire body to move in/out slightly to get the focus exact.

    It will be extremely hard to use a tripod with this combo out in the field when there is even the slightest breeze as the subject will go in & out of focus. Instead, go hand-held or with a monopod - with practice, you'll be able to rock your body in sych to the wind to shoot with a breeze.

    What fun they are :thumbsup:
