Nikon 105mm f/2.8 micro

I picked this baby up last night off a dude from craigslist. It's sweet...nice and sharp...only thing that was shocking was that it doenst display a fixed 2.8 throughout the entire focus range...a good friend of mine sent me a link to a site that explains this Nikon AF deal...here's the link to the article. Essentially the lens communicates to the body the effective aperature size...since when you move in closer you lose light etc. so it's good...dont be shocked...it's still 2.8 and nothing is wrong with your lens...it's just giving your body information that will enable better exposure and metering and yadda...

oh...and the focusing on this thing isnt lightning fast...but it's still good...it hunts a bit but hits the target...

Holla!!!

My new Nikon D80

So I bought the D80 this past week...and it rocks!!!

Picked up an extra battery and the MB-D80 battery grip.

On paper the diffs between it and my D50 dont seem to be super super huge...but trust me...when you get your hands on it and use this beauty...you wont understand how you could have lived without it. the 2.5" display alone is 40% of it's greatness...but anyone can make up stats...3% of all people know that...
