This is a repost of a thread I started on the macro forum. I thought some of you who are lusting for a macro lens might not
have seen it over there.
I think I may have found a new gig for the Nikon 60mm micro.
A friend of mine is a member of a knife club... a large group of well heeled collectors. He was showing me some of precious
blades when I came up with the idea of photographing rare knives, not documentary for insurance purposes, but for
framable prints. He lent me a few rare specimens to test the concept.

Note, due to the large size of the knife in the last picture, I used The Beast at the wide end of its zoom. However, I captured the
maker's mark with the 60mm micro.
I'm making Ed prints so he can take them to his next club meeting and test the market for me.
