[Leica] Friday Flowers 28 Elmarit and 90 Summicron

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

The Micro-Nikkor 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6D ED perhaps were those guys shooting
with?

I don't underestimate the value of zooming and macro.
And this was the first true zoom macro ever made. And maybe last.
Some day I'll be shooting with it.
And its gorgeous!

But you're being very innovative Howard doing macro wide angle work!
You don't see much of that!
Was there ever a true macro wide?
I'd guess not. But could easily be wrong; as usual.

> Hello Again,
> On the way down from the midlevels I walked through the botanical
> gardens and stopped in at the Orchid green house.
> There were two serious young men inside with tripods and long Nikon
> zoom lenses taking studies of the orchids. They would set up the
> tripods and cameras and then zoom in and out to frame the flowers. I
> was there with my D700 and only the 28 Elmarit and 90 Summicron - so I
> set the lens in use at its minimum focus distance and rocked back and
> forth to get sharp focus and then stopped down to increase depth of
> field. The zoomers didn't think much of this technique and ignored me
> but I liked the results.
