Reeves makes big pictures of small things

Tonight I borrowed a couple of micro photography lenses from Phillip (thanks dude!) and played around taking close up pictures of anything that came close.  I found taking pictures of the dog to be a challenge since the depth of field on these lenses are a touch on the narrow side. smily face  At any rate, stuff looks really cool when you can get really close.

For the curious, the lenses I borrowed are a 60mm 2.8 Nikkor and a 105mm 2.8 Nikkor.  I put the pictures which were mildly in focus in my micro gallery.  The pictures of the dog were taken with the 105mm and the others were taken with the 60mm.

Dude.... Sweet! Which lens did you like the best? I've been thinking of getting the 105mm macro for a long time now. The 60mm is supposed to be one of the lengendary Nikkors for its sharpness and contrast.

Choosing between the two lenses is tough. I actually liked the focal length of the 105mm a little better... but I used the 60mm more often as the 105mm is stiff due to a drop by the owner.
