Hi guys,

Had some free time today so I decided to try Sigma 105 EX with reversed Nikkor 50mm f1.4.
All photos hand held with my "high tech" setup :D
Quite happy with the results.
Hope you like them.

Great pics Flyer - wanted to try the 105 myself yesterday but it was blowing dogs off chains (well nearly!)

Thanks.
I know what you mean. Since I got my lens every day I wanted to try to use it was very windy! :(
Yesterday the biggest problem was finding the bugs. There was only 2 flies flying around my yard & I spent an hour chasing them :lol:
Ant must have been the smallest ant I've seen all my life... :lol:
Love this lens more the more I use it.

Nice shots! Funny how flyscreens stop the bugs from getting out!

Superb shots Flyer. The mozzie is excellent. The ant is cool too. THat fly looks like it's puzzled at what you are doing.

Well done!!!! :) :) :)

It was probably puzzled why I was still there...
It kept flying off & landing 10-15cm away!
Took me an hour to get few decent shots :D

Basically one needs a spray of chloroform or ether - that would slow the buggers down!!
