Sorry, these have come from Photobucket a bit on the huge side. Again!

Any & all C&C welcome.

Thanks,
Roger.

Hey, come on, Charlotte!
Your macro images are much too good to sell all your stuff & give up.......!

Think again!!

Roger.

Could someone advise?

My K7 is still on version 1.0.

What differences do you think I would/should notice?
How long would it take to download, given that our broadband speed is the pits!?
I've been nervous of doing it previously because of a), the b/b speed &, b), my concern of doing something "wrong" & doing more harm than good!

Thanks,

Roger.

Just looked at your Flickr, Nass, where you mention your "pinning" skills....

Sorry about the "alive?" question.....

Really, really good black beetle images.

Roger.

Amazing image!

Was he(?) alive......?

Roger.

Bernard, could you not, when the ropes/pullies are not loaded/in use, put a temporary load on, a small sandbag perhaps?
That way, the system will always "think" it's loaded......

Roger.

Thanks David.
Honest & true C&C, which is appreciated.

I was expecting a lot with farly high iso & over-cropping!

I promise to try, try & try again!

Roger.

I have that bellows unit, Andy, & use it with my K7.

Have you tried releasing the camera mounting ring from the unit? When looking from the camera end, it's the chrome/knurled locking knob on the right.
Mount the camera to the ring then, with the rear standard as far back as it will go, locate the mounting ring with the camera attached & lock in.

Hope this helps,

Roger.
