This image was shot with the lovely Tokina 90mm f2.5 macro lens I scored in a wonderful piece of luck when i was perusing our local 'Trademe' online auction site (think eBay but better organised). It was passingly mentioned with a FM2 film Nikon and a nice manual-focus f1.4 50mm lens; needless to say I snapped it up at the $200 asking price. I was overjoyed to find the Tokina to be virtually mint and as great a lens as I remembered when I had an Olympus mount one on my OM4... ah the 1980's.
If you're interested in macro photography the 70's and 80's era manual focus lenses can be an excellent place to start; our D300 will even meter nikon mount ones, as will all the Pentax DSLR's the pentax k mount examples.
I'll be posting a lot of images with this lens...
