That is bad a$$ @grunt_408 !!!!! :respect:

Did I see a while back where you said you were inverting your lens for the macro shots? If so, what lens are you using to invert?

I like the B&W so much better for this shot. It's fitting to the era

I am using mostly a reversed helios 58mm f2. Its an old M42 mount lens. You can pick them up for cheap on egay try to get the one with 9 aperture blades as it will give you nicer bokeh mines only got 6 but still is ok.

Bought a Pentax FA 28-80 F3.5-4.7 lens from KEH for $1.49 a while ago. The zoom and focus was stuck. 2 evenings ago, got really bored and ripped open the lens and put it back together, voila the lens is back in business, well sort of. Zoom still doesn't work (I might have missed some step), its stuck at 50mm at F4.5. But auto focus works fine. Pics seems to be very sharp. Here is a sample.

I scored on a Nikon D3100 used on e bay with the kit lens battery and charger for $200. 4135 shutter count in perfect condition x mas present for my kid who signed up for photography classes

Need to get some ND filters for my 450D(XSi) (currently have my Canon AE-1 w/ 28mm & 50mm FL lenses, then my XSi(450D) w/ Thrifty 50mm f/1.8, 18-55mm f/4.5, & a 28-90mm f/4.0 in my arsenal).

Sounds like it ain't a perfect lens (but that deal tho!) but seems to have good bokeh so looking forward to the shots you get out of it!

Just when I thought that I would finally hit the streets (and my new carry-on workstation) with the cam after being separated from it for more than 3 months, I can't even get my hands on it because I'm absolutely swamped with exam studying. :cry:

Hopefully I'll get in some creative shots around the house.

That's about what I want 7-10 step ND's but yeah they are far from inexpensive lol. It would cost me less to get a L-Glass
