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

[Hardrock]

Please add me to the list! That should give me plenty of time to find a Nikon body to use. What is a good Nikon digital body that I should rent or borrow? I have some friends with a D90 and D300s Im sure those are as good as any???

 

[Markw]

Those bodies would both work wonderfully. Anything under the D90 will not focus, but will still work. Welcome to the fun.

Are you saying the D80 won't focus?

 

[Markw]

I believe it just may. As long as the camera has a built-in motor..which I believe the D80 does..it will AF with the lens. Thank you for correcting me.

Wowzaa one week just is not enough time with this lens. My schedule is demanding and I would love to have more time with this lens.

I am in love, fantastic lens!!! Narrow DOF is easily achievable, I thought I was shooting a 200mm+ lens. On my D5000 minimum focal length is 56ish mm and manual focus is necessary. I focus manually as often as possible so no biggie for me. I do not own a macro lens or an extension tube. I was having a blast taking macro shots.....LOVE IT!!!!

Here is a feweacesign:

Shot through a very dirty turtle tank

(2) Passive crossover network

The pulley on my 180amp alternator that I need to install

My town : White Haven, PA

Shipping to fast eddie tomorrow!

I'm in Canada so I can't toss my hat into this particular ring, but I just wanted to say that this is such a fantastic idea! Very cool concept and some of the shots have been glorious. I'll go back to the sidelines and watch for new pictures now.
