Manual focus, wide open at f4 and hand-held at 1/100 second with the new Olympus 300 mm lens.
Eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus)
This man was doing his best to raise money for some of Sacramento's most worthy charities including one that I happen to be involved with, Loaves and Fishes, which among other things, provides a hot meal to about 600 people every day.
This photo was taken on a film-only photo walk of Sacramento. I managed to get Bjarne, Eric, and Pedro to join me for some old-school fun.
Nikon FE2 plus Nikkor 50 / 1.4 AI at f/ 1.4. I don't feel that I deserve much credit for this shot. This lens is just gorgeous.
First upload from my new Canon 7D
Manual focus, 1/250 sec, f/8, ISO 200, Remote flash 1/16. I was trying out the wireless capacity of 7D to fire off camera flash
Have been testing out a number of macro lenses, always used AF this is my first attempt using manual focus, one out of 40 came out OK
My Nikon F2 (camera on left) has no built-in light meter and no built-in motor drive. It does not need batteries except to power the add-on Nikon MD-1 motor drive that is located under the base plate of the camera and attached to the camera body by screwing into the tripod socket. The Nikon MB-1 battery pack is located under the motor drive and screws into the motor drive. My MB-1 battery pack holds 10 AA batteries and will last for over 30 rolls of 36-exposure film. With motor drive and battery pack, my Nikon F2 is may largest and heaviest 35mm camera.
My Nikon N2000 (camera on lower right) has a built-in light meter and a built-in motor drive. The light meter provides aperture priority exposure control, manual exposure control, and program exposure control (no shutter priority). The motor drive is powered by 4 AAA batteries. I have not yet tested it to determine how many rolls fresh batteries can handle.
My Nikon EM (camera on upper right) has a built-in light meter but no built-in motor drive. The light meter is primarily aperature priority. It has limited manual exposure control, no shutter priority exposure control, and no program exposure control. Without the optional motor drive that attaches to the bottom of the camera, the EM is my smallest and lightest Nikon 35mm SLR.
learning how to manually focus, with a 24 megapixel camera it seems to me like the auto focus doesnt make it as clear as possible, my best friend just said i was paranoid lol.
Manually focus stacked from 3 photos taken at f/16 with the 50mm reversed on some extension tubes. The fly was around 6mm long.
I have uploaded this photo at a larger size (1600X1122) than I usually do as it really deserves to be seen at a larger size to appreciate the detail.

close-up using no3 dioptre filter on Nikon F Mount Sirius 28mm manual focus lens attached to Lumix GF1 m4/3 body...
Some of the Nikon and Voiglander manual focus prime lenses that I have collected over the past 2 years. The Sony NEX can use almost any lens every made, so it's become a hobby for me to re-purchase the Nikkors that I used to use in the 1980's. Even in mint condition, you will pay an average of $150 in Bangkok for a prime Nikkor lens that is sharper than any current zoom lens.
I picked up a Leica adapter yesterday, and ordered a "Jupiter 8" 50mm f/2 lens on Ebay for $45! This Russian lens from the 1970s is a copy of a Leica lens design...it has a cult status among Leica users.
Manual focused shot at f2.8, maybe next time I've to choose a higher aparture to get the whole leaf sharp, or not?
