  It was not a lens rocketed in the roof?

Today I also played with the 1.4 TC void of glass that I coupled with an 85/1.4 AF-D.
Erik, I want one. Erik, I want one. Erik, I want one. The ultimate extension ring!

We have an norwegian expression, "beer glasses", which might describe the character of the heligon What you can see thru them, might not look so good the next morning
It seem like you are having a good time down there

You can achieve a similar effect by putting an actual beer glass in front of a macro-lens. Examples:

Erik is currently making two of these for me, and I am eagerly awaiting their arrival to try them on my lens lineup!

BTW: great shot of ice crust on the meadow!

Frank, Erik said that he was going to leave one of yours behind for me.

I have two for different purposes, one 1.4 and one 2.0, there is no spare for you my sweety baby ...

Am I missing it - or where are the bananas?

Erik is persuading me to go for the 1.4 but I kind of like the 2.0.
Don't worry Frank, you will get at least one back

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Today, really bad weather (for Dutch situation). Everything was glazed over. Jakov had to work hard to de-ice his big Audi ('El Presidente'). Obviously the tension pent up also for a later visit to a fast food café for som well deserved lunch.

I need both. But I can send you my beer glass if you like the results ;-)

Chris Dees. Superb documentation shots!!!!

[Bjørn Rørslett]

The glacial conditions, however, allowed for some nice shooting opportunities. Here some yellow pea-shrub (Cytisus?) flowers with the 105/1.4 E and the now legendary extension ring derived from a TC-14E.
