RE: Cooperative flies
Hey, Bob pretty good work for a first attempt. The first pic reminds me a lot of Jeff Goldblume. Shel [Original Message] From: Bob W Over the last few weeks I've been trying out my E-1 with the Cameraquest adapter for Carl Zeiss lenses. Today I tried it with the CZ 100/2.8 Makro lens. The crop factor makes this equivalent to 200mm in 135 format. I found one or two (who can tell?) cooperative flies. The first, second and fourth pictures are enlargements to show detail. The 3rd picture is the whole frame.

RE: Cooperative flies
Thanks. Is it that obvious that it was my first attempt? It was really quite difficult to focus on them - I shot at f/2.8 mostly, but also some at f/8, which was hard work because the adapter requires manual aperture opening and closing. -- Bob Some people would sooner die than think.
