365.111 Return of the Zomb-E Series…

Since I gave the Tokina such a nice long walk yesterday, I decided to treat the Zomb-E to walk around the near side of the rich part of old East Dallas, quite a bit farther than yesterday: up Swiss from Grigsby to Munger, back down Swiss to Annex, and back into the apartments via the …

365.98 Attack of the Zomb-E Series IV

Went on a bit of a Zomb-E walk today… thought I nailed the shot, but failed and the light was gone by the time I figured it out. Oh well.

I have some sad news, friends… A terrible accident that has brought great disruption to the D7000 family. Yesterday, I tested out reversing the 24mm f/2.8 ai on the 75-150, and stacking that assembly on the 104mm extension tube set. (FYI: This combo achieves 10:1 reproduction. Yes, 10:1, and reasonably sharp, if rather difficult to …
