I knew I had the right guy. Think of the Make Magazine article we could write! I'm serious about contributing the point & shoot to this project. And, Harry, just think of it! It'll make your 500mm lens effectively 2,000mm. Just think of the wildlife shots you'll be alble to snag! Hummingbirds at 1 mile! You'll be famous.
errr Rutt, I hate to break the news to you but you're a tad behind the curve on this one.
Harry http://behret.smugmug.com/NANPA member How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
Wow! Too bad, though about Dr. It and his machine shop. He was just dying to do this.
Harry, why aren't you all over this?
I was at a presentation Nikon gave on digiscoping at our local wildlife festival. It was interesting but not for me. You are shooting at such a distance that any movement by the camera or the subject gives you a very soft picture. It gets good results for subjects standing still but I like to capture my subjects doing something.

I understand only 1/2 of that. Obviously, with a 2000mm FOV you need to keep the camera very still. But why is subject movement bad? Do you have to use slow shutter speeds?
Sorry, we're right at the edge of a seriousness timeout here. Let's get back to the subject of Dr It modding your big tele.

I'm not kidding, this would be easy to do. I don't even need the big lens, I already know the f-mount adapter I have will fit it. All I need is the thread size on the end of the P&S camera (assuming its a higher end PS and accepts filters/etc) and I'll essentially combine a stepup ring and the f-mount adapter. Easy as cake.

No fair changing the topic????? When did this rule come in?
You're exactly right, Harry. But he needs to learn to choose better which quotes he includes in his replies so he can sleeze the subject changing in a little better.
Oh, and weren't you jealous of the Avedon character in Capote with his old Haselblad with the waist level finder? And talk about a one in a lifetime subject! Of course Avedon got all the dream subjects.
could be a curse too, people who spend times scraping cells of frogs and photographing them most likely are failures, live life with their mothers, won't come out of the closet, and have a non-existant social life.

this differs from you how?
The Nikon Small World compeition winners are currently being featured at the Herter Gallery on our campus (they're on two tours across the country at the moment). There is some absolutely stunning work there! Think Lord Vet's stuff times ten.

Why do you characterize cell biologists as "failures"?
I think you need to get out of the house more.

I'm sure he's joking- I worked in a research lab for many years studying different types of lung cancer... and no, the people I worked with at UAB and Johns Hopkins did not live with their mothers and were very far removed from being classified as failures.

I would imagine that that your so-called failures contribute to the betterment of society via medical research.
I understand this is meant as a joke but it seems a little too demeaning when directed to a general group. These type comments need to be directed toward an individual, such as Dr. It (sorry but you seem to know allot about this type photography), to be taken more in the line of tongue-in-cheek.
Every party needs a Pooper so I guess I'm playing party pooper.

thanks for noticing, I'm no expert, but I work closely with some excellent microphotographers. My own stuff doesn't really qualify as micro - on the order of microns, so cells. Most of my work is on the millimeter scale looking at fluid flows.
Its nice having fans watching your every post. If you has been paying attention back in October you might had noticed that Nikon acknowledged that some D2h's and D70's had metering problems and that they would fix them for no charge.
A much better response than the non-response from Canon during the 10D focusing fiasco.

Geebees Harry I just spit coffee all over my monitor:lol4
Wasn't intended as serious. I thought it was funny, actually. Wrong smiley, I guess?
Friggin' refs, always calling for the other side.:cry In seriousness, apologies to Rutt, if he thought that was a stab instead of a nudge.

If something like that was going to wound me, I'd be dead by now. I took it in the proper spirit. And what a setup for Sid!

Personally I love my Nikon D200 and shot a Nikon D100 for the 3 yeas prior to buying my D200.
Yeah, but, does Nikon offer any tilt and/or shift lenses like these?
No fair changing the subject like that.

[See how it's done?]
but really, how many canons can attach to a microscope to take photos like thishttp://www.microscopyu.com/smallworld/gallery/contests/2005/14thlarge2005.html

so in reality, i would say canon beats nikon

Sure, Nikon may have street cred for wide angle, and a 28mm tilt/shift lens.
But where is the full frame sensor?
It makes no sense.

Seriously though, as a company that kind of puts itself forward as the king of wide angle, why does nikon not have a full frame sensor?
