I passed this rather nice tree last Sunday, so I thought I'd take a photo of it. But since I don't have one of these fancy new models with a large sensor, just the tiny little one in my D80, I obviously couldn't fit the whole tree onto the photo.
So, I decided to do the second best: take a shot of a part of the tree. Some of it seems to be a bit out of focus, but I think you can recognise the green tree-things in the foreground
Oh, and I used the old Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 AF D. Nice lens, since I have time to eat a sandwich or two while it's focusing. Only micro lenses can make photos small enough for DX sensors of course, but you already knew that, didn't you?

C'mon Jorgen, pull yourself together and get yourself a Full Frame. And a german Makro instead of that Micro. That ought to do that tree thing
If you can wait a few months the old and rather widespread 12.1 Mp FX sensor will definitely drip down into a D90 showing up at Photokina at the latest. You have my word for it, so just start a new rumor thread with confidence.
OK honestly, from what you have shown us lately, from Vietnam etc., all you need is that D80 of yours. Great shots really :thumbup:

Jorgen, Nice curves there. Great eye!
Here is a tiny frog (smaller than 1cm and bees looked bigger!) taken with a D80-IR.

Steen,
FX in a D80-sized camera, that would be something. I really like the smaller size. Maybe I should start that rumour thread Do you think those product developers at Nikon read this forum?
Thanks Vivek. Where do you find those cute, little frogs? The only things I see around here are big, ugly toads. Not photogenic at all. Maybe I have to walk slower

More small things to fit inside my little camera. Looks like a flower, doesn't it?

Hi Bob,
The Common Whitetail male has a body about 5cm long. I was at the close focus distance of about 7.5 feet for the 80-400 VR. The stick that he is resting on was sticking out of the water, and I was near the edge of the lake. I just cropped to make the frame 4" x 4" instead of 6"x 4".

I agree...much more interesting! (Not that the other one was bad, but it was very literal...this one has more "art" to it).

Even computers look ancient when they get old and worn. In this case, an NC lathe, captured by the D80 and Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 AF D.

It's the keypad of a numerically controlled (NC) lathe (not a caffè latte), one of those machines where you insert a square piece of material and get a round piece out. That would be a "dreiebenk" in Norwegian and probably "drejebenk" in Danish, or?
This one is not even very old, but existing in an industrial environment makes it look like it's been around for a while.
Oh, and here's the keypad of a somewhat older version
