Hey Guys

As I'm aware a number of you do macro photography...

So I'm guessing some of you may have rails for your tripod I know Derek does..

What rail do you use??:)

Lou, I have one but don't know the brand - an eBay unit I've never used it so you are welcome to borrow it to try out.

The are great fun. Coupled with a flash trigger I got some great photo's.

All long gone now.

RRS is bloody expensive though..I know you get what you pay for but I struggle to pay hundreds of dollars on something I know I wont be using all the time as im not a dedicated Macro photographer

Oi! I haven't used the rail yet so I can't be broken. Oh, wait on....

I've got a fair amount of old Pentax M42 equipment, all in MINT condition (some boxed), don't know what I'm going to do with it, and amongst that equipment is a Pentax Macro Focus Rail 111, still in its original box! It cost around $300 new!!!

Advertise it on the Pentax forum. We Pentax users clamour after good Pentax accessories. M42 lenses work perfectly well on Pentax DSLRs (with the M42-K mount adapter).

Wait...

Just give it all to me. :D
