Once they dispatched, you just got to wait for another 2 days. That's about the time I wait for my things to arrive.

graviti,
you ordered a reverse ring mount too?

Koji,
The baby snails are really good, very sharp
Especially #3 can see details very clearly.
I haven't shot any macro for a long time, think I better get some practice before I get too rusty.

Frankly, I'm pretty amazed how a baby snail look after I manage to focus and shoot. Real cute.

Yup. Taking marco and super close up shoot is more fun and challenging. I got a zoom lens of 300MM but seldom use in my bag.

Your 70-200mm is a lot better than reverse lens method in many aspects. I'd use the 70-200mm + Raynox DR 250 and get 2X life size... with auto focus, auto diaphargm, no light loss and metering in tact.
