I've never used that particular lens. I did micrography back in college, and when I worked for Minolta we had a similar macro that was something like 2-5x.
That lens must be a telephoto. Yeah, a lens can be a wide angle telephoto, since telephoto doesn't mean what it's generally thought to...
Sam, you know I named the lens specifically for your benefit. There are a few on eBay for around $1.5K. The last time I saw any at KEH they were in the $2K range. :P
That shot was at 180mm, so with the D7100 an effective focal length of 270mm, which is very nice for allowing me to photograph...
Thanks for the info. Being mostly a sheet film photographer, I think it is fairly obvious which app is more my style, not to say I will never shoot any events that might be suitable for batch processing. It's just that I was upgrading PS and Adobe had a deal on LR if you bought them together...
BTW, somewhat off topic, but it was mentioned. I just got Lightroom and have no idea what it does different from Photoshop. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Some excellent macro work. I really should get out and do some macro, especially since I have the long-discontinued Nikon 70-180 Micro, one of the coolest lenses ever made.
