    I just got this lens yesterday and took it out for a spin today. On the D90, everything must be set manually, of course, but I had fun doing it and finding that I could guess right on the exposure pretty often.

    My specialty is wildflowers, but there are very few of those out now - so, I had to content myself with fungi. At least they hold still!

    A few samples:

    I don't like eating those things, much less looking at them, but those are cool!

    Nice shrooms, Jim!
    I've had an ai'd 55 micro for a few years. I think the 55 micros are marvelous lenses and great bargains.
