18-200 isn't the way to go imo.Makes a very good case for the one size fits all zoom, but of course quality suffers

You're right of course, and I left that class of zoom behind a long time ago, but it bears thinking about.18-200 isn't the way to go imo.
To be honest by the time I'd seen it I'd missed it anyway, so even with the right lens I'd have missed it.
Not loving the concrete shot. Reminds me I need to clean my patio!
On really close stuff I find manual focus works better. As does a tripod.You're right of course, and I left that class of zoom behind a long time ago, but it bears thinking about.
That concrete was part of a 3-4 inch high frog in a bird bath, so the vegetation was pretty tiny. I wanted to see how close I could get and still maintain focus.

Good vintage then! Just took a break from the pruning to shoot a shield bug in the garden. Didn't have time for a tripod, so not sure they'll be up to much.This is a manual focus lens from 1972-ish

If your ever in Shropshire Carding Mill Valley is a beautiful place. Get there early like I did though. On the way up I saw two people. On the way down lots!
Cheers. Got up at 5:30 to go. Still wasn't really early enough for sunrise and all that. I'll have a few more up this week.As long as they weren't on their way down the short way at high speed, then that is fine. Nice view!
