Must be hard to handle. The tethered shooting program that came with my camera really helps me to fine-tune focus. Maybe that could help you too.Benjamin Oldenburghttps://plus.google.com/105545158530520375274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906310437889129583.post-30383858953813824572012-09-02T18:44:19.000+02:002012-09-02T18:44:19.000+02:00+Timothy Lauzon This is my lens-contraption.
