More playing around with the new-old lens. Straight out of camera, other than minor cropping on two...

Identity. Should have gone f/8 rather than f/5.6, meh...

Thx much! And yes, its 1:1. This was only the second time I have shot with the new macro lens. I freaking love it! 1:1 is pretty much the sex. Haha...

I straight up gave my reverse ring away today cause of this lens! The detail using this compared to the reverse ring is just unreal. Never gonna go back.

Haha, its the most legendary of all macro lenses! There were three versions of this lens produced. Kiron 105mm f/2.8, Lester A. Dine 105mm f/2.8, and the Vivitar Series 1 105mm f/2.5. Google it! Nah, but mine is the Vivitar Seris 1 model. Love it!

Sounds like a good alternative. I was eventually gonna get a canon 100mm f/2.8 macro. But i don't think i'll use the AF or IS when doing macro work

I was gonna get the Nikkor 105mm 2.8 but then I looked around in some forums and this lens was so praised. Then I also decided that I wouldn't use AF... This lens has auto indexing on my camera so that is pretty much all I need... I lucked out with this lens. Most of them I found were going for ~$300. I ended up getting if for a steal imo...
