macro lens to borrow?

Postby feldy on Sat Sep 11, 2010 4:46 pm

Hi guys - need to shoot a quality close-up of a coffee bean for the coffee mag I run; just wondered if anyone has a good macro lens for Nikon that I could borrow for no more than an hour... if you're into your espresso I can even make you one of Adelaide's best coffees while we shoot!

Am based in Parkside... mob: 0411 160 960 or post here!

cheers

Parkside SA [which is why it's in the Adelaide thread] but yes, I guess I should probably fix my location details - moved around 7 or 8 months ago!

I'd be happy to get a close-up for you if you want one. Been meaning to do this for a while. Let me know and I can do it today and email to you. Just send me a PM.

Cheers,

Hi guys - just a quick footnote to this; firstly thanks again to Damian & Fozzie [and also Andre in NSW] for your kind offers of help...

Fozzie & I shot it this morning, with what I think is a great result; we also had a lot of fun [well I did]!

thanks again, and look forward to catching up with some more of you guys soon.
