Almost 2,400 words to answer a macro lens post? Alan, nobody can believe you can write so much (except TCampbell, ha ha) but you risk nobody wanting to read. See the link that follows for the sort of difficulty readers have with this sort of post, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Too_long;_didn't_read

I can't believe you quoted my entire post without at least snipping it a bit!

Macro is a huge topic and there are many ways to do it and a lot of good products to do it with.

One of the problems with the 140-character-Tweet age is that we get too little info or only get it in drips and drabs. It's ruining our attention spans! Maybe try reading a book? Perhaps War and Peace or The Lord ot the Rings Trilogy?

Now I am convinced you have a lot of extra time on your hands!
