@Azy....oh yes I remember those shots, big difference, I think in the first and the shell image! Beautiful stuff! @Zardoz...I had a Canon FD zoom lens that I sometimes used in macro mode...granted it was an older, manuel focus, and not a pro lens. Based on the results I got from that lens, which were not good, I'm hesitant to use a zoom lens in that way. Your image here is good. It's nice to know that there are alternatives available. And in time I think I may go out and buy the reverse rings, bellows, and stuff, just to play around with. Anyone who knows me well knows that I want, what I want and I get what I want.... And I'm willing to spend the money for a dedicated macro lens. I was just surprised to see that I could do more with a macro lens than just take macro shots, and so I needed to know what the difference was.

I am, therefore I create.......
