    Thanks Brian. It is far from the spectacular photos you have posted!! I am using a Sony A700 and Sony 100mm f2.8 macro. How do you get so close as to see the hairs on the face. I remember some pics you posted several months ago that were phenomenal. I saved them, but honestly have no idea how you did it!

    Thanks, Ron

    Hi Ron, I'm not sure if these will fit your lens, but it might pay you to do a search and see what you can get hold of.

    These are KENKO AUTO Ext. Tubes, they will allow you to get a lot closer than you are getting already.

    Your shot is pretty darn close I'd say :D
    Have you looked at Brians Tutorial on Stacking images?
    That can help pull in detail as well.

    That's a pretty good shot you got there clap.gif ... Skippy :D
