Alright, finally a new (old) Micro for my D3! I've been needing something other than my 70-200 for closer detail shots at weddings so I picked up this Micro 55mm f/3.5 lens for $115. I love the old build! Works great on the D3, meters and everything.
Yeah, I figured I didn't get the greatest deal, but I picked it up at our big camera shop in town and wanted to get something for this weekend that didn't cost as much as the 105 VR. I took a few flower shots tonight and they are much more interesting then the ring shots. Very sweet lens!
Oh, I also heard there was something like a PK-3 (I believe that's the name) extention tube. Are these easy to find and do they really help with closer to a 1:1 magnification? Also, do they work on a D3? Thanks in advance if anyone knows this answer...
You will get to 1:1 with the PK. Last time I used the PK was on a film camera.
I loved my 55 3.5 that I bought new in the 70's, and used it until it ended up under about 300' of ocean a couple of months ago (Don't ask, I hate telling stories that show how careless I can be sometimes )
. Sweet little lens, very small and sharp.
