If you want to take macro photography to a new level, try micro photography. Go here for a microscope ready to add your Sony Minolta...

I own both. In the 200-400mm range, the IQ of both is almost identical, one day at 300mm one seems better and the next day the other seems better - they are so close as to be hard to tell apart...

One solution that has not been mentioned for the OP is to get a plate that shifts the center of gravity between the camera/lens and the tripod so that the camera/lens is not front heavy. There are...

I find it a little disappointing that the one thing nobody seems to mention is getting rid of the AA filter. Why spend thousands on a better lens trying to get sharper images, when the camera...

Thanks for this post. It is always nice when someone posts something meaningful rather than the usual fanboy stuff. I don't own the Tammy 60mm macro, but it always sounded intriguing with the...
