Just won this one fleabay - it is a legend from the maker and a steal at well under $100. Made by Komine and focussing to 1:2, not a macro, but darn close. Will post samples when I get it.

Well, all manufacturers call "macro" lenses that give a 1:2 reproduction, so this one deserves it too. Looking forward to the samples.

(to be evil, I would note that Sigma and Tamron call "macro" their zoom lenses when they arrive to a 1:3 reproduction, or even less...) Twisted Evil

Hurryup, since some months now, we had a poll and decided that size limit for embedding images here is 900 pixels wide. We can accept a few extra pixels for framing purpose but that's it. Pictures that are larger than 900 must be linked to (with a thumbnail or with a text link)
Thank you

Hurryup, you didn't have to delete the image.
I have fixed the link for you.
I see you use Imageshack, that site offers a convenient thumbnail feature, just upload your picture and then copy/paste the link that is provided as "Thumbnail for Forum 1".
For images 900 px or lower you can keep embedding them.

Close focus looks good:


portrait is nice
