[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 456722, member: 10304"] As SinHof said, connecting between the camera and lens is critical, not many lenses left where you can flick from camera control to manual, all of mine are now electronic except for a big Nikkor zoom. To shoot using a macro lens or extension tubes, depth of field is the big item you need to be in control of so you can keep as much of the gem in focus as possible. Back in the 1990's Jim Frazier created a lens with a huge depth of field for filming wee beasties and holding the presenter in focus in the background, David Attenborough used it extensively but it's a cine lens and worth a tidy fortune. Would be awesome for shooting gem videos :o [/QUOTE]
