Thanks Guys,
@Dave Naskies - Yep, that all makes sense Dave. I've also joined POTN to take advantage of all the expert help there too.
@Troy - now I get it re the magnification. I'm glad I've got it sorted out in my mind now, that the basic lens only goes 1:1 max, and then it's reduction rather than magnification from there on. I'll get the hang of it - I've only had it a day. Saw your milk container - wow, talk about innovative. I now see, you have to get the light directly over your subject, - NOT just an all-over flash such as a flash normally gives off. That's clear now too. Se, - I'm getting there
Thanks so much guys. You've been most helpful (again
)
