Hi John.

 There is a real name policy active in the Forum. You might want to consult the site guidelines...

Is there a good and fast EXIF viewer von Android?

I use the forum from my phone most of the time....

Thank you for your contribution and help

Sorry guys, name updated (successfully I hope!).
Sorry, didn't think about Android - all images taken with a Df, 400 ASA, either f/8 or f/11, hth

Bjørn or other lens gurus:

How can I tame the mechanics of this lens?

When its optical axis is not parallel or vertical to the ground the zoom and/or focus ring get moved by gravity.

i want to fixate MUP expose. Possibly even stack.

Gaffa Tape on a rail to stack. Right?

I thought of that but it appeared quite inconvenient to me.

I was thinking more of a screw fixation or some other more elegant solution.

Stacking operates the best in my experience when you keep magnification constant. Ie. moving the lens assembly as a unit.

What do you mean by "moving the lens assembly as a unit"?

1. Camera fixed and only the lens moves?
2. Camera and lens move together?

Another couple this morning with the venerable old timer at Down Hatherley in Gloucestershire - for those interested, taken on a Df, f/5.6 for the close-up and f/11 the others. I reckon this was a good buy!

Fons: that is true for most parts of Germany too. Only the East has some historical blanks.

Nikon D7000 + BR2A + 36-72 - obviously reversed. Lens set to 36mm and focused at its closest range. Following two images at f11 and f3.5.

Only one question. I've found not easy to mount the BR2A on the camera: it looks like it forces a bit before the "click". Is there any compatibility issue or it is due just the small grip available?

On the next maintenance service for the camera, have the tech check the camera bayonet for warping or misalignment. That could cause the stiffness you reported.

Also, look closely at the BR-2A to see if the "ears" of the mount are bent or show signs of excessive wear.

Practically speaking, why would one choose the 36-72mm with extension tubes or reversed for macro work as opposed to using any of the dedicated micro nikkors?

Are there benefits over say a 105mm micro nikkor, or is this more a matter of experimenting with inexpensive alternatives?
