timautin, the Windorah & Baldy Top scenes are extraordinary, nice captures.
acoufap, terrific shots with the DA 55-300.
Tas, good photos again at that motocross.
Frederic, your 1st shot is really cool; 2nd makes me hungry; 3rd shot strange...
LeRolls, Christopher, you never fail to provide me with sweet dreams, and here I am after midnight posting right after you...
Today decided to go outside and practice some hand held shooting with the A 645 120mm F4 macro lens. If I can manage to nail the focus I should get some pretty good captures with this old beauty. All shots were taken with aperture at f11. With this lens mounted on a 645 film body the minimum focus distance is 39cm, approximately 15 inches. Mounted on the K-1 the min focus distance is about 1/2 that. The sea shell shots were all taken at about 7 inches away with camera mounted on the tripod. Up that close the DOF is only about 4mm @ f8 or f11 which does not leave much margin for error. I am really looking forward to having a great time with this lens.
The first shot of the rhododendron bud was from a distance of about 11 or 12 inches.
Second photo is a close crop.
Third shot of the weeping willow bud was from the same distance of about a foot.
Fourth photo is a tight crop.
Fifth shot of Natchez was taken from roughly 15 feet.
Best Regards, Bob
