Let's cheer ourselves up with a little Quiz-i-poo!

 

 

  What's is the lens used to take this image of the Red  Dragonfly?

 

 

 

 

  No post cards required!     Just guess!

 

 

          It's decently sharp!

DSC... Digital Still Camera? From Nikon? 1234... Is that a coincidence?

Hard to judge the FOV of the lens used, in this image. It looks longer than 55mm, to me. No clue?

[Brightcolours]

But I bet you can guess which lens was used (on FF) for this image?

Given the recent Nikon chat I'll go for the 55mm F3.5 manual macro!

 

 A weensy clue to my image, well it's my most shot recently acquired lens, but with a little twist thrown in to put you off the scent.

 

    Sweet bokeh eh!

[Brightcolours]

Your image indeed has smoooooooth bokeh. And yep, you are spot on regarding my photo.

I guess you used a TC?

[davidmanze]

  No TC there!  But your warm!

[Brightcolours]

Hmm... Did you crop?

[davidmanze]

It's about half the frame!

[davidmanze]

  I can see that the whole photographic world is utterly flummoxed over the lens used in this macro shot, so without further ado I will reveal the answer!

 

Da Da!!!

 

It is the Tamron 150-600mm VC.... F5.6-6.3... telephoto zoom @ 280mm F8 1/400 sec at 800 ISO. in conjunction with a 36mm AF extension tube, the AF still functions fine as does the VC, shooting  at approx. 2 meters.

 

 Now we can all sit back and relax.......Ah that's better..

[JJ_SO]

couldn't guess that, dave.

 

But maybe you can guess this one?



 

Or that one?



 

Both are crops as yours was
