Photpgraphy: Macro lens test

 I got my new macro lens today. It is completely manual focus, which I think is fine, since when I had autofocus it was hard to get what. I wanted. This isn't easy. Much like a zoom lens, the more extreme you get the more likely you will get camera shake and blurry images. If I need something quick and dirty I'll use my iPhone. Yes, I have one. I'll explain more in another post when I am more used to it! 

This is the lens cap to the macro lens. You can see how close it gets and how much detail there it. This new camera and lens set up will take time to master if I ever do!

Rollicord 120mm

My first 120mm camera, which I still keep with me. Still functions. Like most other photographers who started in film many years ago, cameras were works of art and beautiful in of themselves.

I decided to go all macro and try to highlight the little things, using stacked images to get more details when needed. I am sure there are young photographers today who will have no idea what some of these controls could be.

I will post a few more on my Flickr page soon.
