The heavens parted, and Craigslist shone down upon me…

I’ve been getting more and more into my camera lately. The other day I was browsing Craigslist and I saw an interesting ad… Skip a few steps and I ended up with a bunch of new lenses, an old film body, and a lot of other doodads. Just because I had fun shooting it, you will find pix of the new lenses below.

I’ve also been reading the strobist a lot lately, and I was trying to get a decent light setup going. Trying is the most important part of that sentence : )

Macro Tube!

I juts got a macro tube in the mail. It’s basically a dumb (ie you need to be on full manual mode-no metering or AF) piece of aluminum that moves the lens further away from the camera body. Doing so it decreases the minimum focal point.
Basically it means you can get really tight up on stuff and shoot close ups. Here are a few test shots

The macro tube has 3 different sized rings that thread into one another. That way you can roughly control the distance between the lens and the camera. The three shots are taken with the three rings on. Here’s a photo (ripped from deal extreme)
