The K24 f3.5 would be my choice as well. I have one and use it for reverse mounted for macros, and it works great. But aside from a brief trial on the K1, I've never used it as intended. Mark On 4/7/2021 12:33 PM, Stanley Halpin wrote: Nicely done Juan. I vote for the K24/3.5 for you to use

Stan you are the only one who voted so you're winning by 100% so far :) The K24 will definitely be in a video soon. My copy is in super nice shape, I remember I paid $50 for it on ebay, almost 20 years ago, to this day one of my best finds there. j -- Juan Buhler - http://www.juanbuhler.com

Sure did. Very nice, Dave. I wish we had some places like that around here. A question: are the flipped lensball images created in PP? Alan C On 07-Apr-21 04:22 PM, David J Brooks wrote: Our camera group, practising good social distance measures, had a tour of one of our somewhat local maple

Our camera group, practising good social distance measures, had a tour of one of our somewhat local maple syrup farms on Tuesday. Some of the group have been here before last fall for fall colour shots and the tour. We got some inside shots and a few outdoor shots on our walk. It's quite hilly and

Scott, thanks for looking into this. I am interested in joining the party but unsure whether we’ll be able to make a commitment. Our major flood-damaged-kitchen restoration project is now finally under contract with the guy saying “maybe May or June we’ll get to it…” I was a member of PATC
