They say it takes four times before anyone manages to do it. I stopped on my fifth, its been 6 years now, but it was too late for me. I still occasionally want to have a cig, but every time I think that, I take a deep breath, and the pain in my lungs reminds me that its not a path I need to take anymore. Good luck with yours. Don't leave it as long as I did, you're still a young man and your lungs will recover.

I even tried making the transition easier with an eCig, but it only made me even more nervous and eager to lite a real cig. I don't think there is a "magic pill", only strong will can lead to success.

200mm Micro + FT1 Adapter + J1
I just received the FT1 adapter and tried it with my Nikon 200mm Micro AF-D. No autofocus with the FT1 and that lens, obviously.
This one is straight out of the camera and sharpened. It is a Marigold about the size of a $.50 piece. ISO 1600, f/13, 1/125 on monopod.
This one is a crop. For reference sake, this brown anole has a head about the circumference of a #2 pencil. ISO 800, f/4.5, 1/320 on monopod.

Thank you.
The 4th photo I posted above, the one of the dog with different colored eyes, was on Explore today. Sani is really happy.
FT1 Adapter with 70-200mm f/2.8 AFS
I got the FT1 adapter yesterday and tried it out with my 70-200mm f/2.8. Like most things in photography, there were tradeoffs. At almost 8:00 pm, I had to go to ISO 3200 and 1/125 on a monopod, even at f/2.8. That would have been okay with my D7000, but with the J1, it is too noisy/grainy for my taste. The tradeoff is that my 200mm is the equivalent of 510mm vs. an equivalent of 300mm on my D7000. I was also finding that the J1's ability to handle highlights isn't as good as the D7000, at least with the Ft1 and that lens at f/2.8. Finally, the lens was hunting for focus at times, which I have never seen with the lens on the D700, D300s, or D7000. I plan to do the firmware upgrade and see if it makes a difference.
Here is the best photo I took with some contrast adjustment in Photoshop.

Where is this? It looks like the bridge from Newport to Jamestown, but of course there are a bazillion bridges that look the same, I know...
Yep, that's the Pell (Newport) Bridge as viewed from the yacht basin at Fort Adams. Good eye!

I have a few (film) shots of the bridge from various vantage points, not that one, though. I lived in Newport for 4 months in 1997, long holiday

That's a heck of a holiday. Were you assigned here (Navy base)?

Naw, just ran away from Australia for a few months. I was over there for 6 months, first two out on Cape Cod, plus some travelling about.
