Joseph, thanks for that!

I had watched a video yesterday (Michael Erlewine) who seemed to think that this model Novoflex was "better" than the Castel-Q? In any case mine will arrive tomorrow and we'll give it a go.

Do you do "most" of your macro shooting in the field? I'm guessing the issues you mention might be easier to mitigate in the studio rather than in the field.

15mm per turn does seem like an awful lot, thanks for the info on the other rails. This is my first rail so perhaps I was seduced by the $100 discount. I guess we'll see how I do.
