TPF Across America: The Journey of One Lens Across the USA

[O|||||||O]

you're leaving out all us Canon users.

I thought of getting an adapter so I could play too, but then I saw how much a half-way decent one costs...

Alright everyeone, here's the lens!

Included by Derrel is an M2 extension tube, which effectively makes the magnification with the lens greater than 1:1 at 35mm. Ive included some other lenses and gear in each to help judge the scale of it.

The gear goes in this order:

Fong knock-off diffuser
M2 Tube
Nikon 50mm F/1.8D
Nikon 35-70mm F/3.3-4.5D ~or~
Sigma 10-20mm F/4-5.6 EX DC HSM
Sigma 105mm F/2.8 EX DC 1:1 Macro
Nikon SB-600
*NOTE: Not all pieces listed are in every picture*

So all of that stuff is being shipped person to person? Yikes. I was inclined to join when it was just one old beater lens. So much of that is going to get ripped.

[Markw]

Noooo. This is all of my personal equipment. The original post stated that you are getting the 35-70 F/3.3-4.5 and the post with my photos says that all the rest of my equipment is included just to show differences in size with the lens and other popular equipment. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, sorry. I thought the gear list had been expanded.

Anyway, put me on the list.

[Markw]

Haha. If I had the kind of money to be passing all the equipment listed around, I would be extremely happy.

Will do.

"Membership in Capturing the whole world..through one lens. is by invitation only.

So, all you need to do is contact the administrator responsible for invitations via FlickrMail, using the form below, to let them know you're interested in signing up!"


Invitation only?? I sent a message saying : "I would like to be part of this group."

Ill see about getting on FlikR in a bit. Always hated sites like them, facebook twitter or whatever there called but suppose I can sign on everyone once in awhile for this.

[Idahophoto]

K sent the request, though it should be called Capturing America through one lens lol

[Markw]

Just for the record, flickr is more like jpgmag.com..not facebook or twitter.
