Dandelions, UV take with D40 unmodified + 105mm UV Tochigi Nikon

Baader Venus filter completely cuts visible and infrared spectrum of light and lets pass though only UV radiation. UV junkies like me have few of them to choose from but Baader Venus so far beats them all with UV transmission and unmatched ability to completely cut unwanted parts of spectrum. It’s produced by BAADER PLANETARIUM in Gremany.

Eric – Great to hear from you. I myself travel though Michigan on my way to Chicago quiet often passing Saginaw just below on I 69. Area around Detroit, Lansing and Flint is very industrialized but northern parts of Michigan are great. ( just listen what Kid Rock has to say about it in his new song). Where are you presently located? It seems you are missing all the fun of our northern climate.

Taken with UV spectrum of light only, with D40 + 105mm UV lens with 2" Baader Venus filter.

Hi Eric,

Kitchener - Saginaw,MI have strong connection at municipal level for long time. We used to play high school sports

together between our cities and this tradition still continues. As a hokey fan I always enjoy OHL games between

Kitchener Rangers and Saginaw Spirit. Always fool arena and healthy action.

UV only spectrum picture was not sharpened. I used just default camera sharpening. Most of times using dedicated

UV lens pictures have “sharper” look then multi spectrum take. Of course post processing can mace big difference.

Grat tread guys,

I second Peleng. Not greatest but my is very decent. Prices went upwards since I've bought mine 3 years ago ($200).<div></div>

Few days ago I've wrote advise to other member on this board - "Every true macro lens is great optically. Selection is huge and prices in most cases acceptable. You just need to decide which focal length will suite you best. I use a lot Kiron/Dine 105mm f2.8. Superb lens. Only better in my opinion is Nikkor 200mm f4.0 Micro."<div></div>

Leonard, your in lack man. Every true macro lens is great optically. Selection is huge and prices in most cases acceptable. You just need to decide which focal length will suite you best. I second Kiron/Dine 105mm. superb lens. Only better in my opinion is Nikkor 200mm f4.0 Micro.<div></div>

My copy is 5 years old with AFS squeak also, but not all the time. She is the keeper and it will wait for affordable FX body some day in the future. Optically top notch.<div></div>

Still no signs of spring in Ontario. Snowdrops bellow from last year.<div></div>

One with some PP.<div></div>

Hello Matt, try http://nikongear.com/smf/index.php?board=57.0.

Yesterday we went through winter storm. By late evening with decent

accumulation on the ground everything calmed down. Taken with D200 + 17-35mm

AFS lens.

Salim,

My advise would be ? go for wide angle lens. Use of fisheye lens as wide angle make sense if you already have one. You?ll need wide angle more often then any other lens.

I have and use sporadically Peleng 8mm fisheye as wide and crop heavily final outcome. (Make sure to keep lines strait as much as you can).<div></div>

Great shots Gerald. We can perfectly see it may be masterfully executed with 105mm macro lens.
