My high school on our 40th reunion, located on the campus of Montclair State University in NJ. Grades 7-12 at the time. It was demonstration high school for student teachers at Montclair State. No longer a high school, bldg is used by the University. We had the same schedule as the college students, 10 minutes in between classes, no study halls. Free to roam and socialize in all 6 years. No problems, prepared us well for college when we got there.

Due to a flurry of great macros recently, I bought myself a 'new' lens; I couldn't afford the Nikon 105mm so I got the much older 60mm.
This is the rose Tequila Sunrise in the front garden...
Nikon D7200, AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8, 1/500 @ f/3.2, ISO 100

Back in my Nikon days my 60mm macro was one of my favorite lenses and I used it far more often than the larger, bulkier 105mm macro. Enjoy your "new" lens, Hugh!
Was that the Olly 60mm?
I had that when I was M43 and it was wonderful

Well, since I'm on APS-C it comes out as 90mm in full frame terms, which I believe is your favourite macro on your Sony cameras
Cheers
hugh

Yes it was until Season 4, wasn’t too fussed on that, although my arm makes a cameo appearance in one scene in that as I was an extra playing a dead body 😂

Just walked past there about 30 minutes ago heading for a beer in this extreme heat!
That little smudge there is Saturn, taken this morning around 3AM just before the clouds rolled in.
I hope to capture improved images in the coming weeks + Jupiter is coming into view soon too.
Captured with a Mak 60 and a 12mm lens (no Barlow used)
Wish I could join you, but it would be a 9 hour flight. I hope to re-visit Scotland someday!
Even in the time it would take you to fly back it could have gone from Summer to Winter! Welcome to Scotland
About one more person than I like on holiday!

yes, I'm getting much better with scanning, although I discovered after I edited these that my camera wasn't quite square so a lot of them are not as in focus as they should be (as in the negatives are sharp, but my scans aren't). Will have to rescan them. I've adjusted my tripod setup and gotten some levels for the next go round. 🙂 But much happier with the colors I'm getting, so small steps.Your colours are certainly coming out nice nowadays.
Cheers
Hugh
but thank you. ❤️

I have seen some people on YouTube use a bubble level app on their phone, placing the phone on the back of the scan camera.yes, I'm getting much better with scanning, although I discovered after I edited these that my camera wasn't quite square so a lot of them are not as in focus as they should be (as in the negatives are sharp, but my scans aren't).

i'm just going to put the level right on my camera back. 🙂
Yep, my 90mm macro is my favorite Sony lens, and although I bought the 50mm macro as well, thinking I'd be using it a lot the way I had my 60mm Nikon, that hasn't turned out to be the case. What I really loved was the Nikon 70-180mm zoom macro, which was a terrific lens, and I also loved the 200mm macro as well -- the longer lengths can really make a difference! That zoom, though -- it was the cat's pajamas. If you ever spot one for sale, grab it!Well, since I'm on APS-C it comes out as 90mm in full frame terms, which I believe is your favourite macro on your Sony cameras

Maybe one day Sony will surprise us with a longer macro, too, but I'm not counting on that..... I do have the Voigtlander 110mm f/2.5 APO-Lanthar macro, which is a real gem, and I appreciate its somewhat longer length.
