20th Century History of Photography

Recommended Posts

And here's some of my very first macro pics taken using the FM3A, 35mm lens, 36mm extension tube, external flash, handheld:

 

Pics

 

This setup gave me roughly life-size magnification(1:1) but very little working distance(3cm or less!)

Go buy a FM2n or FM3A then... Just note that your D70 kit lense cannot be used on film bodies..

If possible borrow one to play with first. You might not want to touch it anymore after your D70 comes back!

Warning: once you've handled the FM2N or FM3A, the plastic D70 body will feel cheapish by comparison! And then you'll want a dslr of the same build quality! lol.gif

Yes, the Nikkor 105mm AI(S) is a f2.5 lense.. Know an ex-owner of the lense.. He sold it to another person whom I know online.. LOL..

Coincidentally, both live within 5 min walk from my place. The former runs the Kodak minilab/ studio near my place and the person who bought the lense is also his customer.. LOL...

Hi! Firefox, I think I just bought some stuff some the one operating the colorlab. A friendly young man!
