I Was Trapped Like A Fly On The Wall

I took the D70 and Tamron 135mm automatic lens outside yesterday. The sun was nice, flowers are starting to do their thing, and there are some insects flying around to be photographed.

So I did. Here are some of the highlights:

 

I had a few times where the auto focus didn't even struggle. It just straight up said "Ain't nobody got time for this!" and crapped the bed. I found myself needing to toggle between MF and AF more than a few times while I was doing this.

I will say though, even being capped at 6.1 megapixels, with a particularly old and slow lens, the quality and detail are fantastic. Yes, I had to manual focus on some of those purple flowers toward the bottom, along with the bugs, but there is nothing wrong with that. I'm honestly happy with everything I got off of this thing.

Later this week: The D40X and the Spiratone, for real this time.

For whatever reason, I really enjoy using junky 135mm lenses, I have at least 3 of them for a Nikon mount, possibly more. I really need to get a semi-modern AF 135mm to try out.
