Not sure how unusual this one is, but I find it unusual it got on the "500px Popular" page...

Right! I'll play again. And, you should all be able to identify this!
Not as sharp as I would have liked....

Indeed. A K-mount lens, of course.

I never realised that the different electrical contacts are not the same. Yet, the one is very different to the others, on this lens, at least.

Man, you guys are on a different level than me when it comes to magnification. I have experimented with tubes before but I normally stay in the 1:1 world.

I like the lens art idea. Might have to take some macros of macros!

Thank you. Macros of macros - There's a wicked thought!

Closeup guitar art is a lot of fun. I need to do some more exploring into my guitars.

It's amazing how dirty one's keyboard looks up close. Yours is actually quite clean compared to mine!

Indeed, dust is everywhere and it really shows up in macro, especially on dark subjects.

Love the tones on the string tree.

I like the cheese shredder shot—nice abstract.

Hey, Billie, nice work on Southern Cross with your mates. Must have been tough trying to get those high Graham Nash parts out!
