Goof-off pic taken with a setup initially put together just to see how much gear I could attach to the camera at once. This is the result of a Vivitar Series 1 zoom macro attached to two extension tubes and a teleconverter. This is combined with a technique I've been playing with involving B&W photography combined with high ISO settings to produce noise. I liked the end result so here it is. No editing other than the crop.

Ceiling fan pull knob suspended on a chain made of bokeh! Taken with a Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm lens in macro mode at 70mm, no flash.

It's officially Christmas time! Taken with the Kaligar 35mm and Vivitar teleconverter.

New eBay acquisition. It's a 35mm fully manual prime lens. On the DX sensor of the D40, this should behave roughly as a 50mm lens. I haven't given it a full workout yet, but I'm pleased with the test shots I've taken. More to come.

State Capitol, Jackson, Mississippi. Shot with a non-AI Nikkor-C 43-86mm f/3.5 wide open at 86mm. I have noticed an unfortunate amount of chromatic aberration with this lens.
