My site nominee for a webby!

Something slightly unusual that doesn't happen every day, but my extreme macro site has made nominee for a Webby! You may or may not have heard of webbys but they're quite a big deal in the website world. Sites like BBC, Flickr, Google compete for these, it's a big boy prize. My site is non-commercial, no ads, no affiliate stuff - just a site teaching people about extreme macro, lenses, light, software etc mainly based on questions I've had over at Flickr.

Anyhow, do feel free to throw me a vote on the 'people's vote' if you feel it's worth it, it would be very much appreciated!

I put it in the weird category cause it was cheaper than the £250 for the others. I prefer to think 'niche'

Thank you!

Really great info on the site, thanks.

The trouble with reading that though is it sparked the idea of new things Do you happen to know a source for DIN microscope objective to K mount adapters?

In a quick look around I found 'jinfinance' on ebay has both flat and cone type objective adapters listed and surmised the cone type might be suitable, adjusted if necessary with an extension tube, but have no idea whether the extension length would be close enough or even if the treads are right. I guess it would be easier with infinite objectives but I don't have any of those.

Hm, not directly DIN K mount, sorry! Pentax once made one many years ago I think, but nowadays you're looking at 3rd party ones like Jinfinance which have a M42 end, and then a M42 to K after that. Go for the flat one not the cone one, otherwise you'll have too much length (from personal experience).

Thanks re site!

Well nass - you have my vote!

Thank you sir!

Done and I have posted links in a couple of other forums asking friends to help too.

+1 from me and Good Luck

A superb site Nass, so much info about macro to read, learn and develop. Certainly will get my vote.

Found this really helpful, with me just starting out.Got my vote

Thanks guys, really appreciate it. I really hate asking like this, seems so sordid. But thank you again!!

Got my vote to, book marked and I'll be going back to give it a good coat of looking at
What do you mean by "it was cheaper than the £250 for the others" Do you have to pay to get a listing??

And another vote


This time from me

I especially like the trick on turning up or down the AF540

Heeey,
I have found this site earlier and didn't know it was yours Great work on showing simple cost effective approach to macro!

Cheers,
Aleks

huh?


So you paid to get nominated for some award? I can't see any credibility in something that determined on payment.
