Great shots derrel. I was actually fairly impressed with the lens.

Thanks Braineack. Yeah...this lens...it is compact, fairly easy to manually focus in macro range, but trickier at longer distances outside of the macro range. The lens has a very limited range of focus ring travel from Infinity to 7 feet...AF works better beyond 7 feet, for sure. I snapped a few shots today, just walking around the building. Absolutely, utterly pedestrian snapshots! The lens is a very handy small zoom on FX Nikon. I've been impressed with it too--it's very easy to use!

I'll try and figure out how to GeoTag my keepers and then upload those to the official Flickr gallery that's been established for this endeavor.

You don't HAVE to GeoTag them prior to uploading.

You can pin them on a Google map when you're in the uploading process. You'll be given the option to "Map This Photo". Click on that, and all your current uploads can be pinned while they're uploading.

If you DO GeoTag them, then the uploading process pins them automatically.

Don't forget you need to ask to join the LOA Group in order to add them to the group.

How would one do that?

This is a really, really cool project... There are some fantastic photos in this thread. I'm so tempted to give this a shot...
