Finally I can focus with my Macro 105 in manual. Took this shot today f/8 and 1/60th - the reason I can now focus is an angle finder.

It's a miracle

Seriously, nice shot Chris. I have a prime macro lens on my lens lust list. Is yours the Nikkor 105 Micro?

Hi Greg

No I have the same as Flyer the Sigma 105 and a very nice piece of glass it is. Got mine through DigitalRev but I am sure Mr Poon would have the same

That is excellent news Chris. I am impressed with the output, and no doubt the Sigma is less expensive than a Nikon.

cheers

With the American dollar at 77¢ it is even better value now

Yes... I imagine we are all having a little party at that!

Oh yes! It's a good time to lust and Xmas is another reason for excuses, why everyone still waiting for?

I did two overseas wire transfer this morning for our suppliers in the US and the bank still worked on 0.75/ US Dollar.

and big bonus for overseas travellers during the Holiday Seasons,

AU$1.00 = 30 Bath (Thailand), Last year was 20 Baht/ AU$1.00

+ $200.00 rebate on Nikon D70 and kit lens + GST refund at TRS so the final price for someone who purchases a D70 with kit lens is AU$1636.00 based on $2G for a D70 + kit lens.

Hi Chris
Your photos on your website are impressive - thanks for sharing.
Thinking of buying this lens myself in the next week when Im in Hong Kong. What exactly did you mean "now I can focus in manual"...were you having trouble? What did you mean an "angle finder"? Are these problems I will also face if I get this lens? Are you pleased with the lens?

Hi Vicareyus

I am having problems with my eyes so auto focus is fine but in macro you use manual focus and I was just not getting sharp enough shots. Nikon make angle finders and the new one is quite rare so I purchased the Canon finder C which fits the Nikon D70 and I must admit that I am no longer worried about posting my macro shots.

Cheers
