Just so I'm understanding this correctly, are some of ye sharpening twice, once during pp and again after
re-sizing ???

Hadn't considered some of those points, might revisit my saving process to see if i can see any difference, if not then I might give it a go.

Yea Nigel, that's the same process more or less as I use.

Interesting question Peter.
I must confess to never re-sizing for screen size or for sites, such as this one, which have a size limit.
I just process them and save a smaller mb file size, under 2.4mbs usually covers most sites.
Would be interested to see side to side comparisons.

MMMmmm never tried focus stacking. might see if i can rig something up to use as a rail, as i handhold most of my macro efforts.

Super work Coker.

Lots of interest in these, a lovely and varied set.
was trying to pick a fav, but they're all lovely.
Great shooting

A few that are not macro

They do don't they,

The pairing of the bellows and that vivitar 100mm seems to work well. Plenty of detail there.
Nice shooting

I have often wondered about ultra fast lenses, and the fact that most are soft wide open, I just couldnt see the point in them.
This I do really like.
As Peter said, its sharp where it needs to be and the transition is just lovely.
Good combo for me anyway.
Nice shooting.
