 ITS HERE!!!! a day early whooooo hoooo!! i must say i am impressed right out of the box this lens looks good, like a quality item. manual focus is very smooth and the switch between auto and manual is easy and positive. i did not have a lot of time before the sun turned phinque and went down, but did manage to snap about 20 frames iso 1000 at 500th hand held on my d200 great color and detail as a test i printed some 13x19 no editing they came out beautiful :thumbsup: it is funny how one can know about something for years and never try it because your interests were someplace else then you try it on a whim and boooooom your hooked, thats meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :baffled: is it thursday yet? oh darn i have to wait how many hours till sunrise? i will post more after a third or fourth impression be well Ed

Hi sorry it has been a while since i have been here but i had a case of the punies (read flu)  blaaaaaa any way i did get out in the yard and did some shots hand held. i am very impressed with this tokina lens build and image quality both. I now have a remote release so now for some shots with the tripod and the d80 I know the d200 would be better but I don't have a release for it yet. working on that too be well Ed

Sorry to hear you have been stricken with flu, not nice. You don't need a remote for the D200, use mirror up shutter delay (Exposure delay) and the shutter release timer delay of 2 or 5 seconds (Self Timer). The Exposure Delay can help especially with a longer lens where camera to subject distance is greater and magnification is high it lifts the mirror then waits a second or so for the vibrations to die before opening the shutter. I have seen greater sharpness when using Exposure Delay.

Well done Robert. I'd forgotten that about the D200. It didnt/doesn't have Live View ... Is that correct? Ed

No, no live view, sad to say, but with such a small screen it would have limited value. I use the exposure delay for most of my close up stuff, it also has an intevalometer. I have used the intevalometer to capture sun rises and sunsets, also to try to capture the annual Perseid meteor shower, with limited success, I might add.

Well, I have "a few" macro lenses and set up a site about them a while ago: http://www.macrolenses.de but its is mainly quite specialized ones, not that normal stuff everyone uses... (also for UV and IR and "monster lumens")

At last I have another person who I can pick their brains on the UV work I would like to start. I know Bjorn Rorslett also drops in from time to time but he is also out on location for a lot of time. Anyway welcome I am sure that you will be able to provide us with some expert information on all things macro in the visible and invisible (to human) light ranges.

Ed- If I could only have one, it would be the NIkon 105 (new or used), the second choice would be the nikon 60. Tom
