 Thanks Wayne. I have been wondering what shooting with a microscope would

be like. I think it is about time I found out. I can see me getting into 
this with a whole new enthusiasm. I have seen so many nice macro shots
taken 
with Canon and other fine cameras and lenses. I have been using Nikon for 
some time not that they are any better, just a bit more expensive. I have 
seen better pics with Canon than anything I have been able to produce 
although I do like my new Bigma.

Regards.
