This thread made my head hurt. Ouch.

I think I'll feel better after I put it out of my mind.

The majority of people don't even get this right if I tell them what lenses I used in the session, appro. 5-7 lenses. But what lens out of the whole Pentax manufacturing history?

Correct !

Sigma 70-300 @ 190mm with a +4 close focus filter ..

ISO 100 , F22 , and 1/180 ...

With a cheap nasty $12 Flash

All attached to a K10D

Purpose of game = Think outside the box !
You do not have to spend $$ to macro ..
Dont even need a macro lens ..
Or a macro flash ..

Does any one else care to challenge ?
Now that we have the hang of the game , I might pull out another lens ...

Was it made in the 90s? Because then I'd be right. It didn't look like anything done with a real macro lens.
