I'm happy with the MFA that I did w/ Phil. Getting much better results under all conditions but having plenty of light really helps matters.

I'm glad things worked out well. Your recent photos definitely show improvement! :)

Have you attempted to AFMA your other lenses yet? If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call.

thanks and I agree, the first image is the sharpest by far, much better light. The lens/extender is dead on now & the rest will be up to me to be a better photographer.
