More #macro #photography

#Cucumber flower filled with #ants.

(Canon EOS M50 with a vintage Canon FD zoom lens 70-210mm 1:4. Because this camera doesn't want to work with this lens, it's manual focus and manual aperture.)

I'm trying some #macro #photography. This is a baby #cucumber. #Ant for scale.

(Modern Canon EOS M50 with a vintage Canon FD 28mm 1:2.8, and a +4 closeup filter.)

I am using a 1980s telephoto lens (Canon FD 70-210mm f/4) on my new digital camera (Canon EOS M50 mk2).

It's a bit tricky to get these in focus, but I am able to photograph them from 25 yards away. I expect images to improve as I learn to program the camera properly for manual lenses.

Ken Rockwell inspired me to get this sharp old #Nikon lens...
He says it's "Nikon's lightest professional telephoto zoom of all time."
And: "Like all Nikkor manual focus lenses, the Nikon NIKKOR 80-200mm f/4.5 N AI is built to the highest mechanical standards of any lens ever made." "Remember that this was nearly a $2,000 lens in its day, Nikon's glory days of being the undisputed professional leader."
"This Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/4.5 N is one of Nikon's 10 Best Lenses because it's super sharp, made better than any other Nikon lens today and sells for only about $50 used."
"It's as sharp as one of the world's best lens makers can possibly make it."

And onto old meets new - the last version of the non-AI Nikon 28mm f3.5 lens meets new - the aperture ring has been replaced with a 3D print of a converter, enabling it to be used on modern cameras as an AI lens.

3D printing thanks to the local library.
