Thanks Larry! Thanks also to everyone who commented or had a look. I may
step back from these for a while - summer is here and I am spending most
of my free time indoors doing these macros.

So far I'm finding the IBIS to work at least as well - perhaps better than
Pentax. Or at least because it is always liveview you can see it in action. I
find that to be very helpful when focusing one of the longer Pentax lenses -

Here’s a shot (from the wrong camera position) of Grace jumping into a pool the
other day. It’s an iPhone 6 snap cropped to about 50% of frame. I believe the
metadata said it was shot at f2.2 and ISO 50, or thereabouts.

Mark, the detail you are getting with these is fabulous.

Excellent work as always.

Actually I was wrong, they're just being big teases, while you can
specify custom colors you can't actually order them. So the website is
just not up to date, even though it's had a design refresh. So what it
