A new old toy arrived today: a Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 ai. This is incredible. Sharp, contrasty, good color rendition and saturation, well-corrected, and capable of an astonishing 8:1 reproduction ratio on 100mm of extension tubes. D7000. Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 ai, reversed, on 100mm of extension tubes. ISO400, 1 second, f/11. More pictures of a ruler …

365.80 Ohne Titel
From the ‘Dallas Blooms’ photowalk, with thanks to Greg D of the DFW Photography Club of Texas MeetUp group… 365.80 Ohne Titel D7000. 75-150mm E Series, reversed. ISO400, 1/125 (AP mode), f/8.
Dallas Blooms photowalk
The Dallas Blooms photowalk went down today, organized by Greg D of the DFW Photography Club of Texas MeetUp group, and held at the Dallas Arboretum. I took the D7000 and 75-150mm E Series (mounted in reverse…), as well as the Ricoh 35 ZF. I finished a roll of Fuji Pro 400H and started a roll …
Super Macro Brothers: the Weigh-In
I’ve been reading up on Macro photography quite a bit lately. Well, that’s not quite true… I’ve been thinking of buying a proper macro lens for several days—the Tokina 100mm f/2.8, specifically—and reading review after review and spec sheet after spec sheet, and in the process I decided to see how the macro rig (the …
365.78 Reversed Walkaround
Got home a bit early today, and so I took the reversed 75-150 for a walk around the apartments. This is the best shot I got, though I was shooting more to test the performance characteristics of a reversed 75-150mm E Series in the wild than to make a competent photo. I tried to take …
365.77 Pool of Dreams
Question: Why is there a tilt-shift type effect going on here? I’m probably going to take the 75-150mm E Series to the Arboretum for a meetup on Saturday, and I’m probably going to take it reversed, with ~30mm of extension tubes on the end as a sort of lens hood. An interesting thing about reversing …
365.74 Ohne Titel (but it needs a good one)
And another one that I want to see printed BIG. Oh what fun things you can make with a couple of flashlights and some coffee stirrer things that will one day become a gridspot for the SB700 (maybe later today, but probably not). D7000, 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series, Reversed. ISO100, 1″, f/16.
