As per my thread here I bought a Micro-Nikkor 200mm f4 lens at the weekend. These are the first results. Taken with 1.4tc (so probably up to 1.1.5 life size), aperture priority mode, f numbers either f5.6 or f8. No flash (cos I forgot :LOL:).

Yeah, just kinda meant it was too small a subject to be of much interest.


A criticism levelled at me all to often for my tastes.
 
Impressive shots Joe. Like nos 1 & 4.

Congrats on a great purchase.
 
You have to be happy with that lens Joe, Other than the last shot these are excellent mate.:)

I will be looking for your macro posts in future now..(y)
 
Just seen #5 for the first time. I was wondering what went wrong with that one :)

So it may be better but it don't look right. Looks like the sun was on the lens making it glow.

think my pick would be #3
 
Nice shots Joe, #4 is a drone fly Eristalis tenax the bees #2&3 are good although these look a little flat on my laptop no doubt due to being shot in natural light hasn't helped. Macro is much better shot with diffused flash I think, it give the shots a clean bright look. That said they are still nice shots.
 
Now that is impressive stuff Joe ... (y) ... guess the proof of the pudding 'n all that ... :D ... looks to be a serious contender as a macro m8 ... :cautious: ... but that limited DoF is really something else ... :eek:



Cheers for the 'nudge' BTB ... ;)



:p
 
not bad I suppose :shrug: :D :D :D
 
Defo better mate. The second one might be slightly overdone though maybe?

I spent such a long time playing with the exposure compensation and the levels that I thought I had done enough! I was applying 1-1.5 stops of expsoure compensation as I think the camera was underexposing them quite a bit. Maybe the 1.4tc confused the metering?

I was also trying to edit them on a screen with a bright sun right behind it - so I pulled out the levels to try and see the detail a bit better lol!

Anyway, enough of the excuses, I will have a reprocess soon, perhaps this weekend. :)
