Very nice... But I see you have to tease me with that Burgundy Vac again though
What lense and camera are you using??
SMG
Thanks Griz, sorry 'bout the teasing. I'm sure you will get that burgundy vac up and running by the time you get back from Philly.

I am using my Nikon D50 and a new Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro lens. It uses the best glass that Sigma has and is probably the sharpest lens in their current lineup along with the 70mm version of the same lens. It is great because it is so versatile. I can shoot nibs, pens, portraits etc with it and really play with the depth of field.

All of the nib shots were at f32 and had an exposure of 1.3seconds. The pen shot in the other thread was at f8 I think.

Thanks for the cudos, I promise to stop teasing you know. biggrin.gif

Cheers,
SG

edited to correct focal length, its a 105 not a 150mm lens.
