Well i should of left by now to go to Santapod for the VW bugjam but ended up having my own bugjam in the backyard.Still playing with the MKIII and high ISO which is letting me now handhold at f16-20 with the sigma 105mm and extension tubes and still get reasonable shots without any form of flash.

The only reason i had the money for the MKIII was the fact i split up with my partner 2 year ago and have just sold a house we both owned and the money from the house sale paid for the MKIII :D LOL.

you'll find a bit more noise at dusk but still acceptable. I think live view is useful for tripod work but image is too shakey for hand held work certainly if magnified x5 or x10

live view at normal mag:
