I just wanted to see what others rigs look like, bracket and all. Before I began, I searched to see what others are using. Ive seen LordV's. It really helped me make mine. Maybe it can help others come up with their own. Ill post mine when I get home.

(thats not to say i'm dissapointed with the 105. coz i'm not ) I would just like a little more working distanceI wouldnt worry - if you are only going to have one macro lens then the 100mm area is probably the best one to get. I have a 60 which is great but no good for shy insects. However my impression is that a 150 wont be successful hand held for smaller insects due to the weight. 105 likely to have even better resolution. Park Cameras was the only place in London that I could find stocking the 150 - nice to buy from a shop. Toby

racketman Cream of the Crop More info | nolie wrote: Neat idea, racketman. What kind of flash bracket are you using? Nolie Hakuba (bought from e bay)- not a very strong ball head for the flash but gets by.
now converted with a Jessops ball head which is more stable:
