Macro with Micro Nikkor 55mm/2.8 AI-S

[mastazeko]

Got new lens and I love the performance of this Nikkor. Got to learn a bit more while handling with it. One thing that bothers me is when focused to minimum distance is metering. It gets way off and overexposed so some trial and error was needed but sharpness is amazing!

Here are some first examples. Have to say that macro is not the easiest branch of photography.

nice set, yeah macro isn't easy as landscape

but that is a very fine macro lens to start with. The 3.5 version is also great and very cheap for its quality


patrickh. Good series keep it up.

I saw this lens recently at a used camera fair.
It's really one of the best in the macro field.
Nice series, congratulations on your purchase.

Thx guys for the kind comments. Got real lucky with this lens. Body and glass is in mint condition, only cosmetic flaw is oil on aperture blades which will get cleaned soon but for 100€ i payed, i really have nothing to complain

Some more stuff...
