My first macros with the ist

Hi, I'm rushing off to work, but I tried out my new extension tubes a couple of days ago, and this.. http://www.liamsworld.org.uk/galleries/macro1/index.html is the result. I'll fill in the details later, but the clarity of the original images is stunning. On the flower buds, there are little red dots, you can barely make them out. I can zoom in to those and fill the screen before there's any noticeable pixellation, and they can't be more than a couple of tenths of a millimetre across..!!!!!! God knows what they'd be like in RAW. I think the depth of field is around 0.25-0.5mm, so that was fun trying to manually focus. (The flower is Mahonia japonica if you needed to know) Cheers Liam
