Very nice. You're gonna have to show me how you get such sharp focus with this getup. That's the biggest problem I'm having with it.

Charles , thanks. These were taken in Dallas Tx . I first image working distance was around 12" , the second was around 3 " she was of a pretty good size . I kept one for about 3 years and she never got as big as this one . She was just over a half inch wide at the abdomen . She had two egg sacks about the same size . Largest female I've ever seen .

These all look very good Tom IQ is pretty impressive !
Wonder if TCs have less impact on IQ when they are reducing rather than magnifying ?

Brian , that is a good question ,
What I have noticed is that as long as you are shooting up close the images quality is their, but as you shoot out from several feet to infinity it falls off some .

Phil, in some of the shots I've taken with this set up. I dont know if my 180 could have done any better . I will try to get out this weekend and find a subject that will cooperate with me and do a direct IQ test between the two.
