Scratch another off the "must have" list.
Nikkor 55 micro.
Reproduction scales are for use with it's dedicated 2 X teleconverter.
Unfortunately, it's teleconverter ended up on a 300 f 4.5 nikkor, and I was unable to convince the vendor the 2X belonged with it. No matter. I have extension tubes here that will match and better it. The tubes will be a shade faster as there is no optics in them...
On a more positive note, this has to be the sharpest lens I've ever laid my hands on. It shades the f 2.8 vivitar version I had by quite a bit.
As is, it will focus as close as 1/2 life size, which is saying a lot for a late 70's hunk of glass, aluminum, and steel...
Looking forward to getting some spring flowers work done with it. All we need now is a good rain.
I should do one more profile pic of the lens, with it set to infinity so it will look a bit more recognizable...

Doc Sharptail
