Very nice...glad you got a great deal on the lens...last time I tried to buy a lens of ebay(wanted to convert for UV photog), the listing said it was perfect condition and it had mold in it...Had to fight it with paypal and lost my shipping money, because I had to pay to ship it back...
I plan on getting a Nikkor 105mm Macro, but not from ebay ...
It seems this forum has a lot of pros and hobbiests, wonder how many of us will be at the Summit?
Thanks Swi!

Now that I've shot with it more, I've noticed that good focus falls off severely from the focus point at a low f-stop which I'm not happy about with this lens. (For the waterfall shot, I used a slow shutter speed to blur the water.)
I think that this lens is not all that good for macro application. It's probably my eyesite too, its not the best. Either way, the bokeh is dramatic with this lens.


Does anyone have recommendations for good macro lenses? I use Nikon stuff. I don't want to spend more than $1000 though...
