    Don't tell me - you just HAD to go play with a new toy? I just thanked heavens when dig-cams
    appeared so I didn't have to waste film on stuff like that (got drawers full of it somewhere...)

    New toy, but it's not the macro lens. I've had that for a while.

    So what camera are you using for these shots? They're killer.

    Is that 60mm lens a prime macro? Do you ever use extension tubes?

    I suppose such an outlandish picture might raise a chuckle but the subject line is, as should be
    apparent, pure myth and lore. We have discussed this item on wreck.bike often enough.

    60mm is a macro (micro in Nikonspeak).

    Why?

    Because it's making me itchy just looking at it.

    Hmmm...so I should wipe the sand (dirt actually) off of my wheel before installing the crank?

    Holy [censored] Jobst.

    A sense of humor helps immensely.

    Alternate reply:

    Something just flew over your head.
