One of my first macro's after getting it. It being the Nikon 105mm 2.8 AF Macro lens.



I love how much easier it is to work with when compared to extension tubes and the like.

Great photo, Thank you for sharing. I have always been a nikon point and shoot fanatic. I imagine there dslr's experience would follow suit.

I have been cruising ebay for some cheaper ones. I have a bunch of Film SLR's that were my grandpa's i might just have to dive into those ones and play around with some of the lenses there. I wish i had the same appreciation for camera's like he did. There are some really neat camera's (exakta, Leica, rollei, etc)
