new 35mm lens + extension tubes!

New blog post?!! (I'll get back to those Rottnest Island posts some time) I've bought a new lens, It's the Nikon 35mm f2D. It looks pretty much identical to the 50mm 1.4, except it has different writing on it :). Also I noticed it's made in Japan, not China, if that means anything! :/

I haven't really had a chance to use it yet, I will on the weekend. I also picked up the Kenko extension tube set. I had a quick play around with them at work, they seem to work pretty well, they focus really close.

I guess the real test for these will be when I go on holidays to Mexico in TWO WEEKS!! Not very far away now.

I think you should get the Raynox, then we can see which way works best. :)
