What lens did you get that with? That's some extremely impressive detail. Tamron Adaptall 90mm f/2.5 macro.. Great bargain I got for $90 along with a camera bag, PTTL flash cable setup, and a few other goodies which I still use. (it's the 1/4 second exposure time that really gets me! It was way past twilight by the time I took it) -Charles Holy moly, what a bargain! Was the shot hand-held? Either way, that's a hell of a shot!
