I have a part now for quite a while and have to say really top !! I still have a slight travel tripod (for this purpose is actually ok.), But when I had macros in many situations a slight blur. I was not sure if it was perhaps on the lens until I came out in a forum, it could be the vibration. And so it was: no more blurry macros, the tripod is rock solid and you get wonderfully close to the ground. I do not want to miss and it can, especially absolutely recommend in macro photography, !!
