Re: Macrophotography Tips and Links 2
Kind of like a Canon or Tamron 180 Macro or a 200 Micro-Nikkor? The macro lenses should have the same depth of field as a 180 or 200mm lenses should they not? I am not aware tha DOF is a function of anything but aperature and distance to the subject. Am I misstaken, John? Shot with Tamron 180 Macro.... I like your new… -

180 What was your distance in those photos? Now I want to save up for the 180. @#$% you people, you think I'm made of money!!! I have the 18-70mm that came with the camera and I purchased a 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 and a 50mm 1:1.8D. I saw some awesome photos recently (like your butterfly), and decided that I wanted to do that and… -
Re: Macrophotography Tips and Links 2
You seem to have ignored my suggestion that you consider a screw in macro adapter like the Canon 250D or 500D. The are simply like "bifocals" for your existing camera lens and allow it to focus closer. But they are pretty good optically ( they are 2 elements not one ) and they cost about $75- $125 I think. You can read… -
Re: Macrophotography Tips and Links 2
Some cameras tend to focus on a glass surface that is in front of a subject (not sure if this is true for the D70, but it looks like it might be true here) It seems to me that the feet are the sharpest part of this image and that the further from the glass surface the softer it becomes. If you have this type of shot in the… -

I think Thiagos advice is excellent. I still own a Tamron 90 mm Macro in a T mount on a Nikon FM3a and it is an excellent lens at about $400. The Tamron 90 macro has gotten very good reviews for the last 20 years. There are excellent discussions of it on photo.net and photo.do - Googling should locate them for you. The… -
Re: Macrophotography Tips and Links 2
A macro lens is usually thought of as a lens that allows the image at the film plane to be the same size as the realworld subject - that is called a 1 : 1 ratio. Lenses that create an image on the film plane twice as large as the subject are usually referred to as photomacrographic lenses, to distinguish them from… -

Depth of Field - DOF - refers to how far in front of, and behind, the subject of an image will appear in sharp focus at the film plane or as stated in the Time-Life Library of Photography the extent of the scene, from near to far, that will be sharp in the picture. The shorter the focal length the greater the apparent… -
Re: Macrophotography Tips and Links 2
Gosh - Andy, me giving you pointers on photography seems wildly inappropriate:D - I should be asking you I would think. Mostly I just wander around and look for interesting looking things - good lighting is the first thing to look for (I know YOU know this , but there will be some readers who look for subjects first,…
