Recently acquired a 105mm micro, my first "serious" lens. Used, but as new condition.

Here are some shots taken at the weekend of my daughter & grandson. I love this lens already.

And here is a feeble macro attempt. Lots to learn here.

C & c welcome as always.

Cheers, John

John - the 105 is a great lens (no matter what make) for both the micro world and portraits. Pin sharp - can see you are enjoying the the lens

Geez, for a frightening moment I thought that third shot was a nipple.

Great shots Jed, and it is a great lens - you'll have a lot of fun with it.

Very nice images
Any fill flash used or were these taken with available light?

Lovely images John - well done. Good to see a man who knows his onions.

Used the sb600 bounced off the ceiling for the portraits, built in flash for the onion.

Greg B .... you need to get out more :lol:

Thanks to the rest of you for your positive comments.

I had planned on getting an 85mm f1.8 as my next lens, but the opportunity to pick up this one was too good to let pass. I don't think I jumped the wrong way.

Cheers, John

Firstly, I meant the fourth shot obviously.

Secondly, Geoff - it was fleeting and foolish moment. :oops:

Thirdly, John, yes I need to get out more (or something!)

cheers

Can't see.

Can't count.

Greg, can I offer you a job as a football referee?

John, nice work. # 3 is beautifully sharp, and the nipple macro is so sharp it makes my eyes water.

Nice portraits John, as for the the last shot, the owner of that nipple must have breastfed the baby till the age of 25. :lol:

Greg,

I believe that you can do wonders with an ear of fresh corn.
