Fellow Flexers...
I've always been interested in the mechanics of a hard-drive. And, a while
ago, I acquired a 200/4 Micro-Nilkkor lens, on the cheap. It's badly beaten up
(some might say, "well loved"), but it works perfectly. Focus is ultra-smooth
and super light - as the lens has internal focusing. Nothing on the outside
changes.
This morning, I had time to "play", so I took the cover off the drive and
started firing away. Of course, on my E3, the lens has the field of view of a
400mm lens. So to get the entire drive in, I had to place the camera about 2
meters from the drive. It seems odd to do close-ups from that range!
There are four shots here,, so scroll down. The last was nearly at the
close-focus limit, and the front element of the lens was still a good 56cm or
22 inches from the subject. No problem with shadows!

I was very pleased with the optical performance.
Your comments, good or bad, appreciated - as always.'
David.
