Hi,
I've had trouble coming up with an optimal macro/general tripod slider/focusing
rail solution. It's clearly best to try things out before investing in this.
Jeff K kindly sent me his extra Gitzo tripod with Acratech head with sundry
of QR plates of different sizes and MPR's to try. I expected this package.
The box weighed a ton and there were more boxes included. Low and behold---
there was an OM-4 with a 135 macro with autotube (all LN) with a focusing rail
all set to go! Then found the Z. 80mm macro. (not to mention spare
batteries, body cap etc.) Now my wife and I are armed to the teeth for macro
experimentation. Thanks Jeff!!!!!
The RRS MPR's are clearly very nicely built, though the design has changed
some.
I owe Jeff a special thanks for this and much other advice and heads-up on
gear. Also many thanks to other list members. I hope I can reciprocate
somewhat. And people un subscribe? I will unsubscribe with cold, dead
fingers.
Mike
