[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 178679, member: 10784"] Thanks Hark! I brought it home with me!! :) It looks like there will be a bit of a learning curve... My is older also, NO VR and I can see where that makes it tough. Tripod mount will surely help. I knew there would be light gathering issues and limited dof. I found out how much playing with it!! :rolleyes: Mine is a true 1:1 which is nice, and the price was right. Makes it easy to afford to try it out. You have to really watch teh focus.. I am not sure but I may prefer manual focus but time will tell... My interests... I have very broad interests and want to learn ... so I will shoot some insects to learn (and see if I can do it!) I have greater interest in flowers, leaves, water droplets and small detailed parts. I have shot parts at work and also small defects in parts and tools and hope to be able to do a better job with this lens.. Anyway .. thats about it... back to get some photos processed and uploaded... (365's, pets, summer challenge and a few of the macro shots I did testing.) happy tuesday! Pat in NH [/QUOTE]
