    Do you have a Macro rail?

    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.

    Question

    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.
