I think you're taking a very sensible, pragmatic approach. If you start taking in Feral cats, where would it stop? You have to draw the line somewhere.

I bought the Tamron SP90 f2.5 with the PKA adapter and 1:1 extension tube for £75

Mind you something's not right with the PKA adapter as I still have to use it in M mode. And I don't think that price is typical

Cosina made a 100mm f3.5 macro which is worth a look if you're on a very tight budget.

Visual literacy / illiteracy are less ambiguous terms for what Thoramay is talking about, I think. But back to the subject, and I agree that these skills are mainly absorbed through our culture, as well as individuals having more or less innate ability.

I'm struggling to see the tree in this (apart from the actual wood of the table top!) It looks a bit grey, in need of a contrast boost (or a wipe over with some Danish oil!)

Speaking of 'seeing things' within natural patterns, this local news story caught my eye: link

I found it quite comical to think that the supposedly almighty creator would choose to reveal himself in such a way....

No. 1 certainly shows off the close focus ability of the lens, although the background is a bit bright/harsh. The others could have been improved compositionally though, in my opinion... the main subject of the shot is not arranged in the most pleasing place it could have been. The rule of thirds is a good start off point for thinking about composition

Will, I don't think we would see something like that because it sounds very complicated.

What do you mean with MicroDSLR btw?

I meant DSLRs designed to have a smaller registration distance, but I didn't mean micro4/3rds so I made up a new word...

One of the few plant families to produce fully mobile sperm! This is why these plants like damp places - the sperm needs a film of water to swim in. Sorry, getting a bit Gardener's Question Time...

The sensor can already move rotationally. Hypothetically, could the shake reduction unit be designed to move the sensor forwards to reduce registration distance when the camera detected one of these new smaller lenses? (Would be rather awesome if it could tilt to correct vertical perspective too!) This way Pentax DSLRs and microDSLRs could use the same lenses while retaining the K-mount lol

They were too busy harassing black people to worry about photographers back then!
