Minus a couple of legs, this arachnid has had a accident and is now an insect:wink: ie it's missing two legs. Some of you are going to wonder at the F stop of 22. I had been originally shooting this spider with the Sigma 105 and same tubes at F9, when I swapped the 180 on I really noticed the change in the DoF so I started to change things until I got a similar result. While I could hand hold the Sigma and the tubes and get a sharp image I couldn't with the 180. I have handheld the 180 and tubes before with great success but couldn't in this situation. Oh well, that's what tripods are for I guess.

Nice shot. I used to live in QLD and know these critters................at least they kept the roach population in check.
