Hi Joel,

Vignetting !?
Absolutely none. 
Maybe because most shots were with tube at 65mm, and zoom at 85mm.
Have one with zoom at 85mm and tube at 116, a tiny aracnid inside a yellow
flower but was very short of time and failed to aim the T-32 properly,
resulting in shadow cast from the zoom itself. But you can see his bright
eight eyes :-) I wish I could scan all these trial and error experiences and
upload them somewhere, but can't afford it for the time being.

Best,

Fernando.
