Love the red!
Very nice...!
but I do not understand: what is set at 0.1.15x ??

thanks

That was a typo. The lens was set at 1.15x magnification.

Explanation. My AIS 105mm F2.8 macro has an extremely tight helicoid, so it is practically impossible to rotate the focus ring in field. So I set it at a fixed focus; in this case maximum magnification; and then shoot. Focussing is by rocking back and forth till the image is sharp on view finder. F/44 ensures a decent DOF, and the external SB-800 enough light. Some how the light is rarely right, but PP in NX-D solves all the exposure problems.

Ahh... thanks for the explanation. Most helpful!

Here is a comparison of the 90mm tamron/2.8 macro and the PN-11 that goes with my Nikon 105mm/f4 macro.
1st picture is my finger next to the bubble and no cropping straight from camera.
2nd is cropped.

Focal length and therefore f/stop change with focus distance on any lens, but macro amplifies the change. The lens is longer at 1:1 which changes the actual focal length and affects the actual f/stop. Nikon bodies use the lens info to calculate the f/stop so they display the actual f/stop.

ETA: Nice work.
