You can absolutely treat a digital, even a point and shoot, like a view camera, and see the difference in the results.

That's a gorgeous image, Scott. Super Tak 50 1.4 by any chance?

[Scott Schroeder]

Thanks Barry. Yep that's the super tak. I think its welded onto the 5D...

I'm really looking forward to getting mine - late model 7 element coming from Japan, US$83. Thanks for sharing all your work with this lens; I doubt I'd have known about them otherwise.

A late afternoon visitor. Nikon D800E/Nikkor 60mm macro.
Just a small bit of fill flash. Probably not enough but I did not want the fill obvious.

Nice one Marty. I had a beautiful Monarch flutter by me as I was leaving for work a few days ago so I went and grabbed my camera and chased it for 15 minutes around my yard, but he just wouldn't land for anything, so I gave up!

This one just about landed on me. It settled on the leaf pictured. It stayed long enough for me to eyeball it closely, sans camera. It stayed long enough for me to walk inside and get the camera. I took a few shots and realized the macro would be better. It stayed yet longer so I could go back inside. After this shot I walked around the yard looking for other subjects. Thirty minutes later it was still there but with its wings open. I got a couple more shots from the back of its backlit wings. As long as it was there I could have gotten the 4x5 setup with the 120 macro. Wish I would have known.

Yes, that inline tree shot is nice, Scott.
