NYC POTN Meetup - Brooklyn Botanical Gardens - May 3rd 10AM

Come on guys. The pics are too good to be shown here.

Do show the pics =)

I need pictures!

I want to see some pictures too

Here are my crap photos from a few weeks ago.

Here's some with my make shift macro rig...85 1.8 + Kenko Tubes + 580EX II

lovely pictures, are your 85mm + tele cropped?

Thanks. No, those macro pics aren't cropped.
I like this combination enough that I don't even miss the 100 f2.8 macro that I sold last year. I am not big on macro but it's nice to know the 85 can double as one with the Kenko Tubes...

Great shots

Do tubes work the same as macro lenses? or are macro lenses still better?

the latter

Yep. But for a very casual macro shooter like myself, this combination is more than good enough for me. You have to remember these tubes have no optics in there so the IQ is retained and the 85 1.8 is known to be a very nice lens.
