Lensrentals.com - Rent Lenses and Cameras from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, Leica, and more

In a vastly contracted photo market this is not surprising.

Nice work but it is definitely magnitudes more expensive than I can imagine spending.

Some wonderful photography in this thread but I think you are right. I will use my ring flash more and experiment with my rail.

Thanks.

I enjoy macro photography and I have two primary tools: a Tamron 90mm and a reversed lens setup using a 50mm lens. I have fiddled with the 0.5x macro setting on a couple Sigma lenses but they really aren’t a priority.

Here are a couple of examples of the Tamron:





Here are couple with the reversed lens set-up:





I can’t recall too many, if any times that I have said to myself-“man, I couldn’t get that shot because I don’t have….”

But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t find some good applications for a new lens.

Does anyone have any suggestions about a different focal length Pentax or maybe one of the specialty lenses from Mitakon or Venus? (But not the $1300 probe lens from Venus).

I do have a rail for use with a specialty lens that doesn’t focus.

Like I said, this is not a huge priority but it is something I have toyed with doing.

Thanks!

They should have the same warranty as new.

I find the price on the flash to be pretty good.

Given the tremendous decline in trade shows, Ricoh not attending is to be expected. Very low return on the investment.

eBay has a minimum bid increment. Simply put, the final price is the second highest bidder’s maximum bid plus the bid increment for that price range.

I used to like the printed magazine- it gave me some useful ideas and tutorials. You don’t get the same kind of motivation from articles on the internet that you do from a physical magazine coming in your mailbox IMHO.
