Re: Canon close up 500D lens

It seems NiSi makes some fine micro rails, maybe it’s easier to focus in macro setups with that thing:

At US$200 isn’t terribly expensive, and it seems one turn moves the rail exactly 1 mm. On pictures seems fine machined, though who knows how good is in practice.

They have another rail for half the price, but it seems isn’t as nicely made, and one turn moves 1.25 mm.

There are other options from RRS and Kirk, but that’s not inexpensive anymore.

For optical elements, maybe it’s better to stick with Canon.
