I've been trying out a few lenses recently, as some of you may have noticed. My latest and so far most amazing purchase has been the F2.8 40mm micro Nikkor lens.
It arrived a few minutes before I was heading out to visit my parents, so I've been taking a few shots and I'm very impressed.
I've not tried any close up macro shots yet as I didn't take my +10 Opteka close up filter with me, but providing the weather is favourable and there are some more insects around I will be out again tomorrow.
I've mostly taken pics of flowers but I did take a few general scenery shots with it, too. It's a little different field of view to what I'm used to and its focal plane is, too, but it's sooooo sharp it makes me smile when zooming in on the PC afterwards.
The ammano shrimp are about 1.5 inches long and seem to be clutching some kind of mystic orb.
