Woo hoo toys arrived

Postby Justin on Wed Sep 13, 2006 2:25 pm

"Happiness is posting news of new toys"

Tokina 12-24, MC-Eu1 remote cord (more buttons than the camera) and a 52mm reversing ring.

Wide angle down to macro, what a delivery!

Now looking forward to a decent tripod and ballhead from Poon!

I thought you were buying the Sigma 12-24, how come you opted for the Tokina now?


Now go out and enjoy the new lens, and your reversing ring. That the best piece of metal I always loved in my cam bag... :P

I'm interested to know about this reversing ring!
I've done macro before by holding my 50mm lens reversed over the mount. So, this ring - one side mounts to the camera and the other side attaches to the filter thread? Where can I get one?

Great stuff Justin! :)
I ordered the Benro C297 and KB-3 ballhead last night.
I had a personalised (not just an email sender automated thing) from Poon himself saying that the item will be shipped today. Oh, this was at about 11:15PM Sydney time too :) Can't better than that.

Adam,

You are looking for the Br-2a macro adapter ring

Or, as it says on the box, the 'Umkehrring Bague D'Inversion'

I got this at digitalrev.com

All I can say that reversal ring is fun, very fun...

It can replace several macro setup at a little expense of metering and focus :P
