Hi Guys,
Off on a tangent again are we. . .

Origional poster is using a D70 that doesn't have live view capabilities. . . .

Thanks Chris,
Betcha Nikon did that deliberately. . .

I knew that there would be a logical reason, trouble is that I spend too much time shooting pics and not enough time studying the background details. . .not a bad thing really.

Hi Guys, I would also like to know why we can't get an electronically capable adapter for Canon lenses onto Nikon cameras. Seems that there are a couple of different manufacturers who make the opposite in Nikon lenses to Canon bodies. These companies, Novoflex seems to be the main one, produce quite...

Nikon makes a zoom micro lens, the AF 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6 D Micro I would be interested to hear from anyone who uses another camera system but added a Canon body, or moved to Canon, specifically to use that lens. Hi Chris, One small correction: Nikon "made" a zoom micro! That lens now commands S/H p...

Hi Chris, Great idea and thanks for the link. I've read it twice now and I'm still not quite sure about my own abilities with the handyman stuff when it comes to precision work with delicate equipment? I would love it if I had a local 'go to' man for my photographic problems. . . Hey Andrew, Thanks ...

Geez indeed...Bruce were you, ahem, referring to the fact that these words are sometimes used to refer to body parts of other than insects? --Rik Hi Rik, do I have to go to my corner. . . again? . . . :cry: Honest Rik, I just knew that if you get caught playin wiff wimmen ya can git bit! But I had ...

Geez fellas,

Lucky our 'puters have got spell check. . .

labia/labium. . . .

kinda gets confusing for us non-scientific type folks. . . .

Hi Bruce, One thing that concerns me considering your purposes is that while this allows for communication between the camera body and the chip, there is no digital connection to the actual lens. Hi John, Thanks for the links mate. Unusual that this technology comes from Russia, but I'm definitely ...

Hi Guys, While in the field, I find myself constantly trying to 'screw' my lens/extension tube combination tighter into the camera mount all the time to make sure that the camera lens metering combination is fully operable. I know that the Kenko extension tubes that I am using are at fault and that ...

Craig Hi Craig, FWIW, I had a play with the design and also used a conical (although mine is circular) shaped object as the light/beam 'splitter'. It works...

Wow John,
I really like the way the eyes seem to 'blur' towards the edges but when you look closely they are still sharp. . .nice illusion effect.

Looks simple enough, how does it work. . . .

If that Robber Fly was any bigger, it would need a tail number. . .

180mm macro with 2X T/C, ISO 6400, F Stops of 22 & 32, hand held in available light. . . any more 'handicaps' that you would like to incur before your next session. . .
That's one hell of a result my friend. . .

Beautiful shots Ken, And thank-you for bringing this wonderful CFWA (close-focus wide-angle)subject to the attention of others. It is a style of macro that I used extensively under water. Its benefit is that you can get a good close-up of the subject and also show his/her surroundings/habitat as wel...
