that aster is stunning!!!

Thank you! I was surprised how the exposure came out considering it was handheld on an overcast day. I only applied a levels adjustment and bit of unsharp.

I posted this on the macro category as well, but I figured it was worth posting over here as well. I've thought about selling this lens a time or two. It's just so sharp and fun.

Like many here, I have this beauty of a lens as well. I've thought of selling it a few times, but every time decide against it. It's too good for how little $$ it would raise. Sharp even wide open:

Well, I love it. But it's always the same story. A new Zeiss MP50/2
has arrived and I might sell it in the coming weeks.
Thanks for sharing this!

This thread needs to be revived!!!


You want your plugs to look bad do a macro shot then crop that shot. They looked good until I magnified them.

The 55/3.5 micro is such a great lens that you don't even need a Nikon body for nice results:

Morten that pic is so nice because I like my 35/1,4 Ai-S and the photo is taken with another great lens. Thanks for sharing!

 

[BLX]

Thanks Aaron. I really like the 35/1.4 too it's a brilliant lens
