I CAN SEE!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

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?

cheers

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

Cheers

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

cheers

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. :D :D :D

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
