Thank you, I enjoy the challenge, I am not really technical but I love doing this stuff, especially with flowers. I grow the Rudbeckia in the garden so I have fresh flowers to play with, when I have time... I think on balance a D1x body would be good enough, Eric used a D70 with great success, if you follow the link in his signature you should find Eric's IR image which put mine to shame.

The 50mm f1.2 units I have been seeing on ebay have gone for £300. Too much for a MF lens of that vintage. I can get the new 50mm f1.4 AFS for £300. This is latest design and optimised for digital use.

The Samyang is totally manual but it is better designed than the Nikon equivalent. So I am also looking for the Nikon 24mm PCE at the right price but they have been selling in excess of £1100. Whichever happens!

Good Glass ain't cheap. And if it's really specialised you need to be keen. My needs are modest... I would like a 28mm f2.8 CRC (focuses down to 200mm or 8") and a 20mm f3.5 MF, plus of course a metal EL Nikkor for UV in the range 70 to 90mm, even 105mm, but they are a bit slow maybe. Given I rarely even look at fleaBay nowadays, my chances are slim. My buddy Nes may get something eventually. Must talk to Klaus again...

I have a 135mm f5.6 Componon S mounted in a Nikon T mount so it fits into my PB-5. Next steps are some tuition in UV photography from Robert!!

Robert , Why the 20mm f3.5 ?
