You'll need a 2:1 macro lens to get an image of the pieces of beef in that "dinner".

Well, the Pup opted for the Sigma. It's on sale right now at B&H for a whopping $20 off, so I went ahead and ordered it. This will undoubtedly diminish the possibility of my getting a Zmount 105 micro in the near future. :cry: I will hold onto the 105 Nikon. I will investigate a cheaper repair...

I can see it. You have to have a add on for your browser. You then right click on the photo and choose something like view EXIF data. The data then pops up in a separate window. At least that is how it works for me with "xlfr" add on with Firefox.

No idea how good it is, but Nikon has some free editing software. ViewNX2

I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest way to replace this lens. I don't mind paying a little more for a lens that will suit her needs better. Fortunately, it is a common lens and right now they are readily available on the used market. KEH has a handful that are rated EX to LN for right...

I don't think she would be happy with a manual focus only lens. I know, when working with higher magnification shooting, manual focus is the way to go, but I know her well enough to know she wouldn't like a lens without AF capability.

She's had it a little over a year, it was a refurb, as they were no longer selling new ones. I haven't checked other independent repair facilities. I understand that lens repair can be iffy without the correct equipment, depending on what they have to do.

Well, the Nikon 105mm macro lens I got for my daughter died today. It no longer focuses, either in AF or manual focus mode. When you turn the focus ring, the lens does not focus at all. I called Nikon, they said if I list the problem as "focus/zoom not smooth", the estimate will be be $475. He...

I used to subscribe to Pop Photography back in the day. Before the internet, the ads were nice, as you could see what deals the New York mail order camera stores had. It was a lot cheaper buying cameras and lenses from them as opposed to a local camera store.

Enjoy them while they are little. They grow up fast!

Aside from my wife yelling at me for dripping water on the floor, no. Although a lot of what I'm shooting now that would benefit from focus stacking would be at parks and gardens where they take a dim view of your picking flowers and plants to take home. The more static insects might be OK, but...

Decided I needed to shoot these using more images. Lots of folks are using between 50 and 100, which seems excessive to me. I took this one using 20 images and increased the distance between shots. It was shot at F11, using flash. I should have either increased the number of shots a little, or...

Rearrange them into: See no evil. Smell no evil. I ain't putt'n up with no evil.

I can't decide whether I like the B&W or the color version better.

Tried out focus stacking today. This one worked, although I didn't start the first focus slice close enough. I only used 5 images. Seems like it was enough for the area used. I also did a time delay to allow the flash to recover between shots.
