Me too, cept, I don't have Sandy's money so I have to buy after someone's used it for years.
My month has been erratic to say the least. Days I haven't been able to shoot because of illness or aches and pains Or just laziness some days.
But I tried to get one as often as I could and I think I did okay. Better than some months where I dropped out completely after a few days in, I stuck to in the end this month.
Thanks to everyone who commented on my photos, and to those who faved my photos too.
I'm not going to post my favorites of mine because your photos were my favorites this month.
As for this lens I used, not real happy with it, it's too heavy matched with the K-5 which is heavy itself, so I'll probably put it in my to sell list. With my tremors, lighter lens are the way to go.
I'm not even sure why I bought this lens to start with, maybe I was hoping it would be good at Macro, but that wasn't the case either. Because I have a confession to make, the macros you saw this month were the result of a Raynox DCR-250 on the end of that lens, not the macro of the lens itself. The macro on the lens is like the macro on a Sigma 70-300mm macro, close focus only. In other words, useless for macro work.
See you all on the flip side, in March were the winds blow and I hope you all come play with me again. I've enjoyed the company this month. Thanks!
