Thanks a lot Akai!wow those are the prettiest little killers i have ever seen. hotogenic:
No, actually for these shots and my vids I use a Sigma Apo OS 150mm macro and a Raynox DCR-250 ... on a Nikon. I had a Canon before my current D800E, bought it primarily so that I could use the MP-E, and when I gave in to the temptation of the current camera body I kept the MP-E, just making a simple adapter for the Nikon since they evidently don't exist. Of course I have no aperture control, other than setting it on a Canon body and then making the aperture "stick" by removing the lens while the DOF preview button is held in, and because of this it's really useful only for studio work. But it is a fine lens and I love the ability to zoom the magnification when composing the shot.All of them were taken with MP-E 65? This lens and TS-E 17 are the stuff I envy Canon users

With the D810 out now, I'd guess that you might find the price of the D800/E coming down.Ok, I remembered, that you were using this lens and thought that it was attached to Canon body
I'm thinking about replacement for my D700... but D800/E still costs too much. For me, the difference between D700 and D800 isn't worth so much money. D600/610 has nice sensor, but nothing more. D750... I can't call it "new and better" D700. Maybe next year. I only need better low and hi ISO, better DR and I need to record movies from time to time (D300s isn't solution for me)
It is coming down, but too slow. 10-15% in the last two years. I'll buy new lenses instead. I'm thinking about new Tamron 150-600 and Trioplan 100/2.8With the D810 out now, I'd guess that you might find the price of the D800/E coming down.
Good idea ... generally money is better spent on glass than bodies.It is coming down, but too slow. 10-15% in the last two years. I'll buy new lenses instead. I'm thinking about new Tamron 150-600 and Trioplan 100/2.8
Thanks a lot Smokehound!ooh that yellow one looks great.
There are a few native southwest species I'd love to see shot with this quality. Man, y'all make me feel like my shots are crap
(though impressive IMO, considering I use phones to take pics)
