Has anyone used the Adorama budget focusing rail? It is a good price if it works well.
If it works, I'll order one. If it is a waste of money, I'd rather wait until I want to pick up a more expensive one.

Jun 04, 2010 19:50 | #4 The adorama rails, which are also sold by many hongkong retailers on ebay - are great for their price point. Certainly able to work with even high magnification work and certainly superior to some other tails in that lower price bracket (like the manfrotto). Tools of the trade: Canon 400D, Canon 7D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L M2, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 OS, Canon MPE 65mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, Tamron 24-70mm f2.4, Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6, Raynox DCR 250, loads of teleconverters and a flashy thingy too

Jun 05, 2010 10:14 | #5 Thanks. I currently have the Sigma 50 macro and tubes and plan to get a longer macro lens. I am very tempted by the Sigma 70, but I know that I'd be better off with a Sigma 105, or another macro lens in that range.

Jun 05, 2010 11:50 | #6 I've never used a 100mm macro lens so don't quite know how (working wise) much difference you'd notice between a 70mm and 100mm. I would say however that (with flash support) you should be able to handhold at least up to the sigma 150mm. That is my working combo at the moment - 70mm and 150mm and they compliment each other well.
