Getting ready for a trip with – I hope – plenty of photographic opportunities. Because I want to make sure everything is working right, I am calibrating my lenses. This one is using the Tokina 100mm macro lens – it was spot on! Sadly, other lenses were not, and one is so soft that I think I either need to get it refurbished by the manufacturer, or just sell it.
I’ve been into macro and panoramas lately.
Yesterday the FT-1 attachment for the Nikon 1 arrived. This allows the attachment of F-mount lenses – Nikon and 3rd party – to be used with the Nikon 1. Given that the crop factor is 2.7, my 55mm Elicar Macro becomes a 148mm equivalent. This morning I went out and took a picture of a white rose, the Pope John Paul II, a fragrant, lovely rose. Handheld, manual focus.
It is going to take hours for LR5 to create a catalog . . . but this is what I have from this morning’s walk in the garden.
