Macro / Close Up
This is the CHAT THREAD
I want to experiment with my Fuji and an unused Nikon mount to use my old Sigma macro lens on it- so I thought why not make this weeks challenge related to make me do it? Doesn`t have to be a macro - anything as close up as you can get using whatever you have.

I have had a bit of a mare. I thought today was Sunday, it felt like a Sunday but its actually a bank holiday Monday. :uglystupid2: :doh: :uglystupid2: :doh:
So I have run out of time to get my photo. Will see if I have something in my archives.
I did my shot with my Fuji xf 90 lens with a close up attachment on it that made it a struggle to get what I really wanted. Only yesterday did I get a chance to do my original plan and use a cheap ebay Nikon adaptor to fit my Sigma 105mm Nikon fit lens onto my Fuji xt30. Very difficult to use with fast moving bees as I was on manual focus with a hit and miss experience re: exposure too. Fuji "by wire" focusing leaves a bit to be desired when in manual. Makes me want to dusto off my trusty Nkon d700 with the macro lens on it. These two were Ok though.
