I just got the reverse ring & aperture kit. I've been trying to use my tripod to take the same pic as
>>3176090 but holy shit, the tripod is acting like a vibration amplifier. Even with the timer and not touching it, it shakes too much. Also, getting it into focus on the tripod is terrible since I need to move the body to focus it instead of using the manual focus ring. I took that image in
>>3176090 freehand. This was the best I got using the tripod.
I'll try later with the mirror up so there's no jarring from that. I still need a ring flash. The pics I tried with 25600 ISO like in
>>3176090 were worse than this. lol I've been trying longer exposure and lower ISO.
