So, I tried today, but didn't do too well. Maybe next time.

I decided to shoot some moss, too.

    For the fly it was not more that 2, I believe. Probably closer to 1.5. For the moss it was between 2x and 3x, probably closer to 3.

    Yeah...with the MR-14EX at 4:1 or more. Is something amiss? The images are cropped, since they were so bad I just felt like sharing the "good" parts!

    I am getting to that tonight. Right now it's sunny, warm and school's out. Driving over to pick her up from school and taking the daughter to the "big kid's" playground which she loves.

    When you get your act together with this lens and your setup,
    I want you to post this fly shot, along with a fly shot that you actually got in focus to show us a comparison with what you learnt :D

    Like I always say you can only begin, but once, after that you are no longer a beginner, and I am yet to see anyone go backwards as they learn more about their equipment :D

    Yep we are going to see great things from you thumb.gif .... Skippy
