I am using a Wimberly f2 bracket with a Yongnuo 560 II flash fired wirelessly via cybersyncs. On the flash is a Lumiquest Softbox III. I shot all of these handheld. My small ballhead is unable to hold the weight of my entire setup so I'll end up getting a different head for Macro at some point. Lens is a Tamron 180mm f/3.5. Here are the results from my first outing.
More testing with the new Sony 90mm macro lens. These were taken today with the A7, JPEG straight out of the camera, no processing. Look very good to me.
Thanks for looking.

* I still couldn't figure out how to upload pictures to here directly form the computer, without going through flickr.
It's been a few days, still need to find the time to catch up. Until then, here are my obligatory fireworks shots. The #1 and #4 are the Sony FE 28mm f/2 at f/5.6, #2 and #3 are the Contax G 45mm f/2 at f/5.6 or f/8.

Here's some from a local hamburger drive-in that's straight out of the 50's
I'll be at a family reunion at my wife's uncle's place on Lake Minnetonka this weekend... I realize it's a big place, but if you see a guy chasing kids and snapping away on an A7, don't hesitate to say 'hi.'
"Krtek hada jak to je"."Krtek a cisla".....So good that Slavic languages are similar still after nearly 1000 year's partition!
I loved Krtek ,(The littel Mole,Die Kleine Maulwurf,El Pequeno Topo,Petite Taupe,La Piccola talpa,El petit talp*,Pequena Toupeira,Kрошечный Kрот,ביסל בראָדעווקע , when I was 9 and I still love it,though I'm 51 now.This reminds me the times spent on reading books like that with my now 26 years old daughter.
Our US/Other New World's,Northern and Western European fellows (save the former GDR) plus soviets would not know what it's all about.Let it be our secret.
*Catalan friends forgive me - I used the Lleyda/Tarragona's dialect's version of that name (the only one I'm familiar with).
