No comment...... Sorry wrist twin, haven't done that one yet! I did set a strap too tight one day, but that's about the extent of my mishaps at this point.

Looks awesome J!!! The hands really compliment the look! Glad they arrived safe and sound!

Awesome, awesome shot! The contrast is superb!

My one and only Base Dial 112h:

Thanks Guys! Been a great B-Day weekend so far!

Thanks Anguz!!! LIke the ingenuity on the Monstrosity! Looking good!

My DateJust for my Birthday Today:

A new D3???? Awesome photos you've taken!!! The last one especially. I really like the composition of that one!

White Samurai for Thursday:

Thanks Ubi!

Ronin - I like!!! Very nice and simple, but elegantly designed!

Silly.....just plain silly. There are more effective ways to digitally water mark a picture but still allow a possible buyer to see the important details (like the date window)

I'm sure there will be an open wireless network somewhere you can sneak onto! It's amazing to me how many people don't take the time to password protect their wireless.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am getting a manual Nikon 50mm 1.8 later this week so I will start there and see how it goes. I'm also considering getting a Nikon PB-6 bellows to make the macro shots even more fun!

Thanks so much for the kind words guys! You are all a great bunch and you make visiting RWG a necessary part of my daily routine!

+1 - but we'll get there Toad! Awesome post Mike! Thanks for sharing your process and adventures! (Makes me wish we still had the ability to save favorite posts like we used to be able to)

Actually they are florescent so they are nice and cool. Only draw about 7 watts each

That is very cool!!! Is it a one off, or are these for sale somewhere?

Thanks for the offer. The only thing is, I would really want one that does Aperture Priority. Looks like the 308 only has Shutter Priority mode.

Very very nice O/S! You could always sneak a laptop in under the work bench. Looks like you have a little slide out tray there?

Found the wrist rests here

True, but when the lens is reversed? No metering, no nothing. It's all manual. Also looking into getting a Bellows Extension for some fun macro work. I don't mind playing with different settings, but the light meter would make it a little easier

So, I am playing with a manual lens with my D40 and i am wondering if there are any decent light meters out there (that don't cost a fortune) that I can use to help me out a little. Ideally one that I can set to aperture priority and have it tell me the best shutter speed to use and ISO settings. Any suggestions?
