    Right hand on the camera, left hand on the end of the lens and touching the window sill to keep everything steady. You'll never see one of my images in a tripod add :D

    The MPE-65mm -but I don't recommend it unless you have some experience shooting above life size. It is a macro ONLY lens -no infinity focus...

    Take the time to get use to it and don't get discouraged. The first few days I was shooting with the MPE-65 I wondered if I should have picked up another lens...
