I can explain! Really!
The N8008s w/ 60/2.8 Micro-Nikkor belongs to the (entomology) lab I work
in as a student (work-study; engineering major). Since I'm the photo (and
computer) geek, a chap asked me to help him make slides. So I had some
time to fiddle with it; noisy bugger; huge; heavy; compared to OM...like
that photo of the OM4Ti, N90s and F100 in Keppler's article about MLU.
The XS belongs to an uncle, and I used it a couple of times for group
shots. Lens was a Tamron 28-80. My 50/1.8 MC blew it away in sharpness, no
contest. The R2k is a friends; I was looking at it--didn't take pictures.
However, since both he and I went to the Botanic Gardens and shot the same
stuff (me and my 50/3.5 MC macro, him and his 28-80 USM), I'll borrow his
prints and scan both mine and his as a repentance ;-)
