Yes about twenty minutes out the road towards Ballarat.

You think that you've a steady hand until you try this and at 1:1 magnification it shows every little shake as I found out as my lens turned up today, it's a second hand unit from a store in Japan via Ebay and it's as new condition just an older series of lens but has a very good reputation.

Ran around the garden today just before coming to work and madly took a couple of dozen shots, chased a few bees around the lavendar bushes and the like.
Loaded them on the computer for a quick look and liked what I saw but had to leave for work so will get a few decent shots off it in the next day or so and it will be interseting to compare notes.

I'm keen to see how you go with yours.

Ken.
