lots of texture, looks almost HDR-ish!

Wind, heck a slight breeze, is very problematic once you start pushing 2X plus. Looks like the rust will be off in no time...

Nice acquisitions. I was wondering what camera body you use in conjunction with that lens.

Which do you like better Bob, the II or the III?

well for macro it really doesn't make that much of a difference, except the Mark II has crud on the sensor right now (keep meaning to do something about it), but for all other shooting I do (earning $ with it), the Mk III is my now my 'go to' camera.

You seem to do "rusty" very well. These look pretty good.

I sure hope someone like Sigma comes out with a MP-E 65 equivalent for Nikon before long.

ah thank you, it would seem they would have a real market for them if they did, not sure how many canon sells but if they were as good as canon and competitive who's to say, I do know the sigma 150mm macro is calling me...................I like the idea of more working distance for skittish critters

I have the same setup and your right it only takes a few days away from it to get rusty. Looks like you are dialing it in well. I resist using mine in the field but I love it in a studio.
