Got out again this morning to put a few more miles on the new lens. This guy had a web wrapped around the base of the flower and was waiting patiently for a customer. Saw this dragonfly eating what appeared to be a damsel fly. Hey, don't eat your kin folk! Almost passed this little...

I see it using xlFr.

Doesn't work on my PC with Firefox. I have to resort to the add on to view the data.

Here are a few using the new Nikon Z 105 micro.

OK, I braved the heat, poisonous snakes, and large apex predator reptiles. I was quite pleased with the way the lens handled. I especially liked the control ring mentioned earlier. I didn't try any with AF. Early results seem like good resolution. Not sure it is head and shoulders above the...

Well, it showed up this morning about 15 minutes before I had to leave for a lab appointment. That was some quick shipping from NJ to SC in less than 24 hrs. Mounted it up to the the trusty Z5 and went out and played with it for about 5 minutes. Everything is smooth and silent. I set it to only...

I'll try it again, Fred. I find I run most of my macro shots through Sharpen these days. Of course with the new Z lens coming they will be super sharp from now on right from the camera. ;)

I was not impressed with Photo AI, compared to using the individual programs. Of course, lots of folks want simple.

I agree that I wouldn't look to adding the 18-55. As to where to go next with lenses, that depends on what type of photography you are drawn to. At this point, you may well not know. For most a tele zoom would be the logical choice. There are a couple 70-300 zooms that are decent lenses and will...

OK, after mulling it over for a couple weeks, I went ahead and ordered it from B&H. They had a deal that included a UV filter, big woo, and free overnight shipping, so I pulled the trigger today. I'll report and post some pics taken with it after it arrives.

Thanks, Dawg. I am having a lot of fun with it, despite the morning humidity. If you haven't seen it, I started a post in Macro with pictures I've been taking at Cypress Gardens. I feel like I've made some real progress, and hope to improve in the coming months before the cooler weather sets in...

EXIF data is still available using an add on to your browser. I've been using xlFr on mine.

Focusing on the moon, you should be able focus just fine in the viewfinder. If you are looking to expose the moon properly, rather than stars, there is plenty of light to be able to stop down to F11 give or take, which will give you enough depth of field to make up for any minor focusing error...

Tried some handheld focus stacking series this morning. Just slowly leaned in while taking shots.

Sorry, didn't read far enough across the chart to see the asterisks.

Disclaimer, I am still fairly new to macro. I am certainly no expert, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. These are some of the things I have learned that may be of help to some of you out there. These things are probably already known by the more experienced. Some of them may be...

All of the limited compatibility listing have a footnote at the bottom. They are either manual focus only, or no TTL metering.

Welcome. There is a lot to consider when buying your first camera. Which brand is a large consideration, as lenses for one brand pretty much cannot be used on another brand of camera. Obviously we are Nikon users here, although there are some who have other brand cameras as well. One suggestion...
