Yes indeed Gary, a Windows 7 rollout at South Humber Power Station.

Can we have a photo of the actual lens and not a stock photo please?

Hi Charlotte, I would personally stick to a 50mm f1.4 0r f1.7 on tubes with good diffused lighting and crop.
Take a look at what Thomas Shahan is using. It's a very simple setup, however he tends to trap the subject, take it back to his studio and once he has the shot he wants, takes the subject back to where it came from.

Get yourself a flash you can control fully and a swiveling hot shoe mount, try to diffuse the light as much as you can and use as little glass between the lens and the sensor.
Stealth is your friend.

I don't know why I'm saying all this anyway as you are one of the best macro shooters on this forum. You've got your smalls in a twist and just need to get back to basics, stop faffing and go as simple as possible with your equipment.

35mm and if you need wider shoot some panos

Lovely shots, great composition, however the horizon is skewed in all the shots apart from the last but then again it can't be seen in the last.

I dweem of owning either ... good luck

If you only have the one lens left to sell why not put it on its own, I think it's getting lost in this long thread now.
BTW the 50-500 is great thanks.

Any modern Pentax K mount camera will suffice, with a M42 adapter.
