"I want to dabble in macro photography at some point, in a small way... But my mag slider will primarily be used simply as a focusing aid together with the magnified live view capabilities of both my 40D and 50D. Old eyes and unsteady hands, I'm afraid. I disassembled and modified my Mag Slider when …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought this product to replace a double rail bellows I used for critical close up focusing. I am used to using this method for still subjects, but the present project is of moving invertebrates in a "natural" setting, so I have found it difficult to use its functions to keep up with the movement. …"  Read Full Review »
