Love it. The 5xMM objective is one of my favorites. Did you turn off frame scaling?

Yes, indeed, :thumbup: but were is the key photo missing, the photo of your setup. Textbook quality!
A friend said she understood the basics, but not the "physical-how" was the set up. One more "picture is worth a thousand words" in that Text Book that N-72 referred to...????? :thumbup:

I don't have a photo of my rig with the bellows, but imagine the bellows in place of the 70-200 lens with objective. The second photo shows the paper towel diffuser around the specimen. Hope this helps your friend.w(h)ere is the key photo . . . of your setup?

no wonder I can't get a decent macro. I need about 75 more shots of whatever I take a pic, and a few more grand worth of equipment :)

It's really not as expensive as you might think if you spend a lot of time on eBay looking for good deals. I just roughed out what I have invested in my rig and NOT counting the D 7000 camera & 70-200mm lens with objective, I have about $450.00 invested. I started out with a much less expensive rig. I've added to my original rig several times to get where I'm at today. Start small & add more features when you can.no wonder I can't get a decent macro.
