blind man & manual focus

not a good combination…

 

playing with my friend’s new lensbaby + 10x macro attachment with f/4 aperture ring.

things i discovered:

 

1) i can’t manual focus to save my life

2) no metering function when attached to a nikon d50 (gotta guess & experiment)

3) without attachments, the focal length is about 50mm

4) with the 10x macro attachment, minimum focus distance equals almost touching

5) i couldn’t figure out if it’s possible to move the “sweet spot” around the composition. seems to remain pretty dead center

6) needed the cory lum pen light illumination technique for this composition
