- Open the pod bay doors, HAL. - I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

If you want cheesy aperture shapes, you don't need to buy anything. Just use a lens with a wide aperture and cut any shape you want out of black paper. With starbursts you'll need to experiment. Some lenses produce the best star at f/8, beyond which the star's spokes get shorter and...

Photo walk part 4 Nikkor AI-S 105mm f/2.8 Micro Never intended for infinity focus or even moderate distances, but hey, rules are meant to be broken! AI-S 105mm f/2.8 Micro @ f/2.8 AI-S 105mm f/2.8 Micro @ f/2.8 AI-S 105mm f/2.8 Micro @ f/8 AI-S 105mm f/2.8 Micro @ f/4 AI-S 105mm...

Part 3 of photo walk Nikkor AI 58mm f/1.2 Noct Not the sharpest lens wide open and the sharpness falls quickly outward from center. Obviously wide open sharpness was never the design goal, but complete lack of coma and astigmatism instead. Still one of a kind lens. Very strong contrast even at...

I did a little photo walk with my 8 years old daughter today. I armed myself with 4 manual focus prime lenses and she had her brand spanking new AF-S VR 18-105. I am not sure about forum regulations regarding number of images, so just to be on the safe side I divided these photos in several...

20 meters distance and small birds is a tough challenge. The most cost-effective solution is a better vantage point a lot closer. If you are shooting waterfowl then the problem solves itself since the birds are bigger and less skittish. Below are my quick drawings of a great tit (very common...

Lower left, or lower right? If you see a -E- (dash E dash) in the lower right where the 292 is in the image below, that means there is no memory card in your camera, or the card is not firmly seated, or the contacts are dirty, or the card is defective.

Well, not the cat but myself. I bought from a garage sale an old but nice Nikkor AI 55mm f/1.2 lens. I is externally like new and functions perfectly. I'd say a well spent $20. This is my 11th nifty-fifty lens and I think I have enough of those. Maybe I start collecting 35mm lenses next. :p...

Just a casual portrait from the hip while we were chatting.

I went fishing with three lenses. Fishing is addictive. 8)

Congrats, it is a nice lens. It is small and light which makes it a good street shooting lens. As a matter of fact I just used it yesterday when my daughter and her friend were in a fun park, despite the biting cold weather. It is not half bad with FX for street, action, sports or portraits...
